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.
