Massachusetts Introduced Pests Outreach Project.
The Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis, "ALB"), a pest of hardwood trees including maple, birch and horse chestnut, was recently discovered in Worcester, Massachusetts. This is the first detection of the invasive pest in Massachusetts.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is expanding the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) quarantine area (PDF | 1.4 MB) to include additional portions of Worcester County, Massachusetts.

If you think you have seen this beetle, we encourage you to submit a report and photos, or you can call the toll-free hotline at 1-866-702-9938.

2006 State of Environment Report (Oct 2006)
Environment Leaque of Massachusetts.
Publications; Management; Special Note: The report discusses the current status of the environment in regard to public health, the economy, quality of life and natural systems in Massachusetts. It has a brief section on invasive species that concludes that although much good work is being done to inventory, plan for control, and ban invasive plant species, we need to do more to collect data to describe the trends and devise strategies to prevent introduction, halt the spread and control existing populations while protecting endangered species.
