Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Update

I'm sure most everyone has heard by now, but the Emerald Ash Borer has been found in Waterloo. Before this new discovery, the EAB had only been found in 5 other counties throughout Iowa. This is not good news if you have an Ash tree on your property. I am in the process of doing a thorough inventory of how many Ash trees we have, but I am estimating we have between 100-150 on the property.
Below is the press release from the Department of Agriculture, Iowa State University, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
