(Wahpeton)– A disease is once again affecting trees that are native to the Iowa Great Lakes. Experts say they’ve been receiving reports of blight in burr oak trees. Sue Boettcher of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Dickinson County, says they’ll be holding an informational meeting on the matter…

“It’s going to be out at Mahan Hall at Lakeside Laboratory on November 1st from 6:00 to 7:00 pm and local DNR Forestry Expert Amber Thompson will be leading that.”

The meeting is free, but Boettcher says pre-registration is requested. You can do that by contacting the Extension Office at 336-3488.
