Scenes from Late Fall ~ Early Winter 2003



Greg Lefoe, Keith Turnbull Research Institute invertebrate scientist, traveled from Melbourne, Australia, to collect overwintering elm leaf beetles from two Santa Margarita sites on November 17,2003. Thousands (the exact number isn't known yet) of ELBs made the trip back to Australia and are now going through quarantine. These beetles are being used in biological control research initiated by the late Dr. Donald Dahlsten, UC Berkeley professor of forest entomology. Beverly Gingg and Simone Smith assisted Greg with Santa Margarita collection; thanks to Yost and Stoudenmire families.
