Do your part to find Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and Save Trees!

The first step to effectively manage EAB is to identify current infestations. State and federal agencies are extensively monitoring for EAB but early infestations are difficult to detect.

The help of New York's citizens is vital to detecting the signs and symptoms of EAB and to finding infestations early. This will slow the spread of EAB, prevent tree deaths, and could save communities potentially millions of dollars in tree removal costs.

Please use the EAB Early Detection Brochure (PDF) (397 KB) to learn how to spot infestations, and the EAB Survey Form (PDF) (172 KB) to report what you see (even if you don't find EAB).
