What effect has the EAB had on native ash trees in North America since its introduction from Asia?
In Michigan, where the EAB was first found in North America, approximately 12 million trees have been killed with many more likely to become infested in the near future. In Essex and Chatham-Kent, the number of trees is in excess of 100,000. That is why it is so important that we make every effort to prevent the further spread of this dangerous pest to other areas in Canada.
