Building Pollinator Habitats as Integrated Pest Management

April 25, 2023


Integrated Pest Management (IPM) uses a variety of ecologically-minded techniques and approaches for the long-term management of pests. In this workshop we'll explore building beneficial insect habitats as an IPM strategy. Participants will learn what to plant, how to design their pollinator habitats, and how to maintain and troubleshoot the pollinator habitat within an IPM framework.

Facilitated by Makela Elvy, CCE Harvest NY. This workshop is part of the Spring '23 Workshops by GreenThumb.

This event is FREE! Pre-registration is optional.

Field Guide: Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables

Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables aims to help urban farmers and gardeners find, identify, and understand the most common and important insects and other arthropod pests found in New York City farms and gardens. Some of these pests are rarely mentioned in other guides but are common in NYC. The guide emphasizes scouting tips, including how to identify pests by the damage they leave behind, even when you can't find the insect itself.

This guide was created as a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension's Harvest New York team and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program.
