View as a webpage / ShareMaine Forest ServiceBrown Ash Site Wanted for Integrated Pest Management Study on Emerald Ash BorerThe Maine Forest Service and the APCAW Lab at the University of Maine are cooperating with the USDA APHIS Forest Pests Methods Laboratory and private landowners in a study that will integrate insecticide treatments of ash with biological control releases. In this first year of the study, we would like to identify one more cooperating landowner (private or public) with a site suitable for the study and characterize the site in preparation for initial treatments and biological control releases in 2025. In future years, APHIS plans to cooperate with the APCAW Lab at the University of Maine for summer field assistance. Here are some brief details of what is needed in a study site and the planned work: Study Duration: Anticipated to be 10 years or more (funding dependent). Study site size: At least 10 acres, ideally around 40 acres. Study location: Ideally within two hours of either of the currently identified sites (Newport and Waterville, stars on map below), with emerald ash borer (EAB) in the immediate area. ![]() |
