Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
EAB is an invasive wood boring beetle that feeds on the tissues under the bark of ash trees. EAB is not a threat to human health but does threaten our forest and urban tree populations. A tree that has been attacked by EAB can die within 2-4 years. EAB has been reported in Westalke. Signs of EAB include: sudden fading of an ash tree's crown, D-shaped holes where the adult beetles have emerged, vertical splits in the tree bark and increased woodpecker feeding. If you have an ash tree and it has any of these signs, please contact Urban Forestry Manager Stan Barnard at 440-835-6432. For additional information, click here.
