Communities clash as Ohio beetle plan targets trees
In Clermont County and Bethel area, residents oppose widespread tree removal to curb Asian longhorned beetles. Officials say over 6,000 trees are infested and 2,500 cut, with authorities weighing only removing infested trees while considering chemical treatments. The Bethel cooperative seeks least destructive methods, arguing many healthy trees could fall, and plans a public meeting on pesticide use.
