On June 28, from 10 to 11:30 p.m. at Foothills Park, join ISA Board Certified Master Arborist Christine Johnson of Todd Prager & Associates to learn about the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB) and how to prepare for its future establishment in our area. The EAB is a tiny green insect with the potential to wipe out ash and white fringe trees in only a few years if left untreated.
The invasive EAB was first discovered in Oregon in 2022 in Forest Grove, just 30 miles northwest of Lake Oswego. In August 2024, the EAB was also confirmed in Yamhill, Marion, and Clackamas counties.
