Free Protection Against Emerald Ash Borer

 

Witnessing the ongoing destruction of stately ash trees, whether diseased or not, the non-profit Urban Forest Conservancy has decided to take action.

CUT, CHIP, and GRIND?EUR??,,????'??? CUT, CHIP, and GRIND?EUR??,,????'??? This has been the process repeated in city after city in the hard-hit Midwest in an effort to eradicate the Emerald Ash Borer. Over 15 million ash trees have been destroyed in the Detroit, MI area alone because of this noxious pest.

Dedicated to keeping America?EUR??,,????'???s cities green and prevent such widespread destruction of urban forests, the Urban Forest Conservancy, in conjunction with Arborjet, has agreed to provide municipal arborists in hard hit Midwestern cities in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana with a Tree I.V. 2?EUR??,,????'???pack Kit, which uses high volume, low pressure micro-infusion to inject IMA-jet pesticide, resulting in up to 2 years of residual protection for each non-infested ash tree after only one injection.

Controlling EAB

Native to Asia, the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB is an exotic invasive beetle which currently threatens 7.5 billion ash trees in the U.S. Ash trees make up 6% of the entire U.S. forest canopy. Removal of infested ash and girdling ash to reduce the spread are currently the most commonly employed eradication procedures. Some municipalities are adopting the destructive CUT, CHIP, and GRIND method to remove ash trees even before the Emerald Ash Borer arrives, attempting a pre-emptive strike against the insects.
