You’re invited to a free walk and talk about the Emerald Ash Borer at the Jaquith Library in Marshfield village (120 School St.).
6:45 to 7:25 p.m. (walk) 7:30-8:30 p.m. (talk) Emerald ash borer is a small beetle that was first detected in North America in Michigan in 2002. Since its accidental introduction from Asia, this invasive pest has killed untold millions of ash trees. In some forests near the epicenter of the invasion in southeast Michigan, more than 99% of the ash trees with stems greater than 2.5 cm in diameter have been killed. It has spread to at least 19 other states, including here in New England. Help us save our ash trees by learning more about this little green bug with a big bite.
