Reports of invasive pests newly detected in New York are causing great concern. Scouting for these pests, reporting their presence and stopping their spread are urgent needs. You can help. Beech leaf disease (BLD) affects the native American beech (Fagus grandifolia), an important tree in ourforests and landscapes, as well as other beeches. It can cause mortality in saplings in as little as oneyear and spreads rapidly. In 2019 it was found in our region, Long Island and Connecticut.
