The Emerald Ash Borer is coming...
Is your community ready?The Emerald Ash Borer is a small green beetle that
WILL KILL ALL OF NEW YORK’S ASH TREES. This means millions of dead ash trees on our
streets, in our yards and parks, and in our forests.
Once an ash tree is infested, it dies within a few years creating public health, safety, and
economic liabilities.

Ask yourself: How many ash trees are in my community? How will these trees be treated or removed? Who will replant them? How will EAB effect my community’s budget? What will my town look like after the emerald ash borer arrives?
