The Black Walnut: Trees, Pests & People

In this chapter of Trees, Pests & People, we look at the threat of thousand cankers disease as it looms from a distance over the Missouri black walnuts.

Trees, Pests & People is the story of three kinds of trees -- Walnut, Avocado and Ash. These trees are united by the threat of invasive insects and diseases -- forest pests from other countries that are killing trees across the nation. But more than the trees, this is the story of how these threats affect everyday lives, and how we can all fight the problem of invasive pests.
