DEM Conducts Public Outreach Effort, Asks Public to Notify Department if They Suspect Presence of Invasive Asian Beetle (and Reminds Campers and Other Vacationers to Only Use Local Firewood)
Through a cooperative effort with the USDA and Animal Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS), the Department of Environmental Management is coordinating a comprehensive public outreach and detection program for the Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB). ALB is an invasive insect that came to the United States in wooden shipping crates from China and Korea more than ten years ago. It affects hardwood shade trees such as maple, ash, birch, willow and elm by boring into the core of the tree and eventually killing it. This beetle has the potential of wiping out thousands of the state's trees if it goes undetected. (More info, also Cranston)
