The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a 1/2-inch long, metallic green beetle originally from Asia that feeds on and burrows in all species of North American ash trees. It was first identified in the Midwest in 2002, and has since killed millions of ash trees in over 35 US states and 5 Canadian provinces. EAB was discovered in Vermont in 2018 and is expected to kill nearly 100% of Vermont’s ash trees, both in our forests and in urban and residential areas. An Ash can be saved if inoculated before the EAB infects the tree. The Shelburne Tree Advisory Committee (STAC) is preparing an EAB management strategy and recommendations to present to the Select Board in the next few months to deal with this impending infestation.
