That was early.

I attended the 2006 teleconference, here at a local Purdue extension office. I shot the slides with my still camera as they were shown, and brought them back.

I was relieved when none were found in my neighborhoods last year (though that doesn't mean they're not here). This year I have a feeling the tide will change.

They emerald ash borer is high on my radar. I do not look forward to their arrival, but in the meantime I inspect every single ash tree I climb, prune or take down, and regularly visit Michigan State's EAB site,
the Michigan State Invasive Species Initiative,
Purdue University's EAB site
and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources EAB site.
Google searches now and then to find stuff not contained in the University links.

I keep informed through these venues and when it is time, I will buy the injection gun, chemicals and begin treating ash trees in my area.

I sincerely do not look forward to that time.
