This month Women Owning Woodlands is focusing on invasive species - a subject I spend a great deal of time thinking about. As I was writing the post about the recent discovery of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Minnesota's woods I realized the Women Owning Woodlands website doesn't have an article about EAB. Something I will now correct.

Emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive beetle that kills ash trees native to North America, has been in Minnesota since its discovering in St. Paul in 2009. Until now it's been the bane of cities, communities and government agencies. Recently it was discovered on private forest land in Winona county.
