Emerald Ash Borer |
| Description |
A recent threat to trees in Worcester is the Emerald ash borer. As the name suggests, the beetle most severely affect ash trees. In contrast to the eradication movement for the Asian Longhorned Beetle, the strategy for this new species is one of mitigation and preventing as much damage as possible; Emerald ash borers are almost impossible to truly eradicate once an area is infested. |
