The Emerald Ash Borer  is responsible for millions of dead ash trees in North America causing homeowners, cities, and nurseries many millions of dollars and heartache. Recently this pest has been found in two counties in Texas and will presumably spread by humans.  This invasive pest attacks healthy and stress ash trees and may cause the extinction of some native ash species.  With Emerald Ash Borer found now in Tarrant County, early detection and understanding your management options is key!
Come learn where this exotic pest came from, its life cycle, and management plans being implemented.   This webinar is presented by Lynne Womack, Georgia Forestry Commission.

You definitely won't want to miss next month's webinar on the Emerald Ash Borer!  Especially since it has now been found in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area and will certainly, eventually spread by humans to our area.
