Indiana officials say the emerald ash borer has been found just 14 miles from the Ohio River, the first confirmation that the tree-killing Beetle has spread in the state south of Indianapolis. The state Department of Natural Resources said Wednesday the Beetle was found in a trap near the Floyd County community of Georgetown. The DNR says crews will survey the area to determine the extent of the infestation. The ash borer has been found in 19 Indiana counties, mostly in the northeastern part of the state. The DNR has imposed a quarantine, prohibiting the transportation of wood from ash trees from infected areas. Large infestations of the green insect have killed millions of ash trees in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana since the borer was first found in the United States in 2002. ...

The Cariboo-Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition will soon be able to hire a social development co-ordinator, thanks to a $75,000 contribution from the province, Minister of Community Development Blair Lekstrom announced Friday.Last month, the group presented Lekstrom with a summary document of its mountain pine Beetle mitigation strategy, which detailed three years of community input concerning economic recovery. The project calls for long-term provincial and federal funding.A full mitigation strategy is almost complete. "This is a good first step in helping the region develop and take advantage of the lead time we have while I consider the full strategy," Lekstrom said in a news release.

Less than 2 inches in size, the Asian longhorned Beetle is still plenty big enough to send a shiver down the spine of local arborists. "This is our worst nightmare," said Rolf Briggs, president of Tree Specialists Inc. in Holliston, after hearing about a Beetle infestation in Worcester. "It's a frightening thought because it could be moved in piece of firewood from Worcester to Wellesley in a heartbeat." The Beetle, shiny with black spots and exceptionally long antennae, bores holes into trees where it deposits its eggs. The holes allow diseases and other insects to enter the tree, which eventually dies from either the Beetle or disease. Worcester City Manager Michael O'Brien said local, state and federal officials are beginning a long process to identify infested areas and eradicate the bugs, which are virtually impervious to pesticides. O'Brien said the only known location is in 12 trees in the northwest part of the city along West Boylston and Brooks streets, including Kendrick Park. Officials have set up a 1.5 mile radius the Beetle's maximum flight distance around the area. "The Asian longhorned Beetle tends to stay in a tree for its life cycle, unless there is an overpopulation of beetles or the tree dies," said O'Brien. "From that standpoint, they're not very mobile. Then again, they are an insect and don't know what boundaries or city limits are." Officials first discovered the beetles in Worcester last week after a reside ...
