The Emerald Ash Borer has recently garnered the same amount of attention in the mid-West and mid-Atlantic as have the Asian Longhorn Beetle and the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid in the northeast and southeast. Moving wood, especially firewood, from place to place has become an increasingly risky activity for landowners, forest operators and wood processors who depend on such shipments for their financial survival. While it is probable that this invasive insect will continue to infest and kill ash trees, there are steps you can take to mitigate the risks.
