Emerald ash borer update
- 39 counties including Davidson are now under state/federal quarantine.
- EAB cannot be contained, and all ash species are at risk of dying.
- Significant ash trees can sometimes be saved with permanent chemical treatments, if diagnosed early.
- The most important way to slow the spread of EAB is to stop moving firewood.
