BDN highlights UMaine students helping Bangor prepare for Emerald Ash Borer invasion
According to the Bangor Daily News, Bangor is preparing for the arrival of invasive Emerald Ash Borers with help from four University of Maine forestry students. The students surveyed 8,574 public trees and found that 20% are ash, which is important for the city’s environment. To protect these trees, Bangor plans to treat them with insecticides and provide guidance to residents on managing their trees.
