The Emerald Ash Borer is rapidly becoming large problem very close to home. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic beetle native to northeastern Asia. The adult beetles are a metallic green and about half and inch long. The EAB is highly destructive to ash trees. Without native factors (predators, resistant trees, etc.) to suppress EAB populations, the EAB populace in the U.S. has skyrocketed. In Cumberland County, they have been identified in Portland, Gorham, and Westbrook. In York County they have been identified in S**o, Acton, Lebanon, Berwick, South Berwick, Ogunquit, Parsonsfield, and Shapleigh.

It is estimated that after an initial infestation, ash trees in an infested area are at risk of dying within a few years without control methods. Ash accounts for around 4% of Maine’s hardwood forest inventory, and is in grave danger. An estimated 90% of Maine’s ash trees are outside of Maine’s regulated areas.

Please be aware and vigilant, follow the guidelines and rules of the Maine Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine and encourage others to do so. If you see signs of an infestation, please take photos, and submit them to the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
