Do you want to learn more about the Asian Longhorn Beetle or the Emerald Ash Borer and it’s impacts on our region. Check out the “Emerald Ash Borer University (EABU);” the title of Joe Boggs, Commerical Horticulture Educator, presentation is“Asian Longhorned Beetle: Update from Ohio.” EABU is a joint venture between Michigan State University, Purdue University, and Ohio State University Extension. Although the webinars primarily focus on EAB, other non-native invasive insects are also covered. Boggs compared and contrasted ALB with EAB because people often confuse the two beetles. We’ve experienced this problem here in Ohio because EAB can now be found in the ALB quarantine zone in Clermont County. The problem is getting worse as EAB spreads into or near other ALB sites in North America.
EABU webinars are available free-of-charge to the public and past webinars can be viewed at any time; mine should be posted by tomorrow. Here’s the website address:
