The emerald ash borer, which first came to the US in 2002, threatens 7% of the state’s trees.
New York state’s ash trees are all at risk of being infested by a small green beetle, the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB), according to the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation. The species, native to Asia and Russia, first came to the US in 2002, where it first showed up in Michigan.
It is now currently resident in 24 New York counties, with its presence in Westchester and Broome counties confirmed on November 3, 5 years after it first arrived in NY.
