Emerald Ash Borer |
Larva |
This tiny insect, about one half inch long at maturity, has killed millions of ash trees in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and several other states including New York. It is a real threat to our county and state.
New York's Department of Environmental Conservation, professional tree harvesters, farmers and maple syrup producers already know about this insect. They will continue to keep a sharp eye focused on the health of our ash trees.
Anyone who ventures outdoors at any season of the year can help too. To get a better understanding of the potential threat of this insect, click on the following links provided by the USDA Forest Service, Michigan University and other contributors:
