Ash borer infestation expands in area towns

WINDHAM COUNTY - The emerald ash borer infested area within Windham County has expanded to include Jamaica, Somerset, Stratton, and Wardsboro.
While EAB has spread into most of Vermont’s counties, it still infests a very small percentage of the state’s total ash trees. Carefully planning and managing the movement of infested or potentially infested material by following Vermont’s “Slow the Spread” recommendations, available at vtinvasives.org, will provide greater protection for uninfested forests.
Those who have questions about managing ash in their woodlot or around their homes or need use value appraisal guidance should also check out the resources available at vtinvasives.org.
