Awareness of Ash Trees: A Walk in Barre Town Forest in preparation for Emerald Ash Borer
May 29, 2024, 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Vermont Forests and Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald ash borer (EAB) is confirmed in all but one of Vermont’s 14 counties. This invasive beetle will likely kill all untreated ash trees in our yards and towns and change the composition of our forests.
Join representatives from VLT, UVM Extension, and the Barre Town Recreation Board for a walk at the Barre Town Forest to learn more about this pest and options for managing ash trees in our yards and forests. We will learn how to identify white ash, the signs and symptoms of EAB, and steps landowners can take to make their properties more resilient to pests like EAB and climate change.
