The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), the most destructive non-native insect in North America, has been found in Franklin and surrounding towns! Over the past few years, it has been found infesting and killing ash trees in forests and landscapes throughout central and southern New Hampshire.

Experiences in other states tell us we can’t eradicate EAB from New Hampshire, but we can protect high-value trees and slow the spread of the ash mortality.

There will be a free workshop about the Emerald Ash Borer on Tuesday, March 1, from 6 to 8 PM at the TRIP Senior Center, in the back of the Bessie Rowell Community Center, 12 Rowell Drive, in Franklin. There will be another free workshop on Monday, March 7, at 6:30 PM at the Boscawen Municipal Complex at 116 North Main Street in Boscawen.

Come learn the facts and get your questions answered by UNH Cooperative Extension Field Specialists Tim Fleury and Amy Papineau.
