New Videos to Help Homeowners Plan for Emerald Ash Borer

contributed by
Ryan Lockwood

Colorado State Forest Service

 

Below is a news release announcing the release of two new online videos to help Colorado homeowners and communities prepare for an imminent threat to millions of trees in the state – the emerald ash borer (EAB). EAB is a highly destructive, non-native insect that has cost communities in the eastern U.S. billions of dollars, and that now threatens an estimated 15 percent or more of Colorado’s urban and community trees.

 The videos can be viewed via the ‘Videos’ tab at www.csfs.colostate.edu/emerald-ash-borer.
