The Germantown Park & Recreation Department and Wachtel Tree Science and Service will be conducting two public seminars to better educate the public about the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is a very small destructive beetle. The beetle is currently known to be responsible for the death and decline of more than 15 million ash trees in a 20 county area near Detroit. Although the problem is most heavily concentrated in eastern Michigan and parts of northern Ohio, areas of northern Illinois have tested positive for EAB. According to many experts it is only a matter of time before it makes its way to Wisconsin.
The seminars are scheduled for Thursday, May 17 from 6:30-8:30 PM and Saturday, May 19 from 9:00-11:00 AM at the Germantown Community Library. This program is free to the public no registration is required.
If you have any questions please contact the Germantown Park and Recreation Department at (262) 250-4710.
