Pest Alert

Two pests threaten local trees:

1)  A white, woolly substance appearing on hemlocks.  This is hemlock woolly adelgid, a pest that has recently made a resurgence in our area, resulting in discoloration and loss of needles on many trees.

2)  The Emerald Ash Borer has made its way to Pennsylvania.  This devastating pest spreads quickly and has killed millions of ash trees across the U.S.  Now that it is here, it is important to inspect all ash trees for signs of this emerald colored beetle and its larvae.
