Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)

Picture
Emerald Ash Borers are threatening the ash trees in the state of Connecticut. Ash, a sturdy wood popular in firewood, baseball bats and furniture, represents 4 percent to 15 percent of the state’s forests and 2 percent to 3 percent of the trees in urban areas, the Connecticut Agriculture Experiment Station said in a release.

Just a short update regarding the current distribution of EAB in Connecticut:  A town by town map of EAB presence in CT is now available on the EAB CAES website, <http://www.ct.gov/caes/eab>
www.ct.gov/caes/eab<http://www.ct.gov/caes/eab> .  This map is updated as new detections are made.  As the most recent map shows, EAB was found in Tolland county, making Windham county currently the only part of CT where this pest has not yet been detected.

For anyone interested in a more hands-on education about EAB and how to protect trees in its presence, the CTPA will be holding an Emerald Ash Borer Field Tour on Thursday September 3rd in Durham.  Details can be found on the CTPA website: http://www.ctpa.org/events/event/emerald-ash-borer-field-tour/
