Emerald ash borer (EAB) is an invasive Asian beetle that was discovered in 2002 in Michigan and has now killed tens of millions of trees in 25 states - and Texas is next. Since 2002, scientists and arborist have learned to better identify, control and treat this serious pest.
This one-day workshop will bring you up to date on the latest information on EAB so you can learn to identify and control it in your community. Click here for the event brochure.
