But we also work with multiple municipalities, agencies, landowners to provide trainings and resources for them to be able to early detect these species throughout the range and how it’s actually moving. So, these different counties has been a result of a different network of collaborators, but also the work that we do together to try to monitor for the pest.Yeah, it’s a very significant impact since it was first introduced. Of course we’re talking about ecological impacts.
So the ecological impacts, the impacts that it has done to different cities, the economic impact as well… We’re talking about removal costs. We’re talking about treatments. We’re talking about potential property damage. Those are millions of dollars that are going to accumulate throughout the years.So they only like ash trees. Which trees specifically are we talking about? And what do they do? Eat them from the inside out?. That’s one of the most, widely distributed tree genera in North America.
Basically it is cutting the flow of nutrients, and the tree ends up dying. So it’s very common to see things like dieback or the canopy start dying. Big limbs start dying, and then, that usually ends up in mortality. But then the next step is once the tree is infected, we want to make sure that that tree is destroyed before the adult leaves that tree. And that will be cutting it down, either keeping it, burning it, burying are something that we can do, depending on the circumstances, of course.
