EAB Information for the Wood Products Industry
Please note: If you work with ash trees. Stop and learn more before you act. The potential threat of EAB is real; however, acting without understanding the specific threat to your industry, regulations and quarantines, and your options, could cause the unnecessary loss of substantial income or the spread of a dangerous and deadly insect.
