Emerald ash borer threatens ash trees in region
The emerald ash borer, believed to have reached the United States via shipping crates from China, prompts state action. Officials plan a delimiting survey and a hearing to establish a quarantine and restrict movement of infested material. Affected areas include a local subdivision with a mid July target for completion. Congress has provided 10 million dollars to combat the pest, with calls for 2.6 million more for ongoing research and control.
