Gabriel Lemay, Entomologist with the Maine Forest Service will be giving a talk entitled “An Overview of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Maine” on December 1st at the Auburn Public Library starting at 4pm. Lemay’s talk will cover the biology, ecological effects, and management of this invasive wood-boring beetle. Native to northeastern Asia, Emerald Ash Borer infestations have been found in 37 states and are decimating ash tree populations, killing tens of millions of Brown, White, Green, and Blue Ash trees across North America. First recorded in Maine in 2018, they now threaten ash trees across the state including in the Lewiston/Auburn area.
Free and open to the public.
