garden spider SAVING THE AMERICAN ASH SUMMIT

The magnificent ash (Fraxinus) is facing a deadly crisis. Many ashes are keystone species, anchoring their ecosystems, but are now threatened by an invasive beetle. The emerald ash borer (EAB), discovered near Detroit in 2002, is moving rapidly through New York, New England, and Canada. Tree mortality is nearly 100 percent, leading to several species being declared critically endangered. In this landmark summit in Ross Hall, four experts examine an iconic genus in peril, as well as ways that homeowners, nature enthusiasts, and forest resource managers can work to save these beloved trees.
