Emerald Ash Borer Resources
The day we've long dreaded has arrived: the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been found within 60 miles of the Luckiamute & Ash Creek watershed. This is a critical time in protecting native Oregon Ash trees by limiting the spread of EAB & we need all hands on deck! The Oregon Ash is an important part of the local food web and our restoration arsenal. Roots stabilize & enrich soils. Birds, insects, and small mammals eat the winged seeds. Deer & elk browse the foliage, as do the larvae of three types of swallowtail butterflies. A decimated ash population opens our ecosystem up to a wide range of invasive species. We have created a brief FAQ with links to several good resources to learn to recognize EAB and get involved in protection activities, from not transporting firewood to becoming an official Forest Pest Detector. |
