Maine, home to 500 million ash trees over an inch in diameter, require protection from the Emerald Ash Borer. The invasive pest has already infested 100 areas in Southern Maine and parts of Northern Maine, Maine Forest Service says. State Entomologist Mike Parisio said a bio control agent will be released on sites to prevent infestations.
The Maine Forest Service says the state is home to 500 million ash trees over an inch in diameter that require protection from the Emerald Ash Borer. The invasive pest has already infested 100 areas in Southern Maine and parts of Northern Maine and quarantines to control the spread of the beetle remain in effect across Maine
"We're finally getting documentation that we have self-sustaining bio control populations. As soon as we have that we can move on to new sites and try to get those bio controls spread out across the landscape as best and as soon as possible," he said. "The focus of the survey program this year is to see if we have populations between these areas that appear isolated or was something moved and started a new satellite infestation."
