| EAB Surveys & Survey Protocols | |||||||||
This page provides a copy of the 2007 Forest Service sponsored EAB survey protocols and copies of the two recommended data forms, one for detection tree/destructive sampling surveys and one for visual surveys. The protocols describe in detail how to conduct surveys for emerald ash borer. This information is intended for formal cooperators. The document "Using Girdled Trap Trees Effectively for Emerald Ash Borer Detection, Delimitation and Survey" is an excellent reference for trap-tree establishment and for surveyors peeling trees looking for signs of EAB larval activity. The Emerald Ash Borer Cooperative Detection Program 2006 Survey Report (3MB) for Forest Service and State sponsored surveys is available for the states of Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois Indiana, and Wisconsin. |
