From the Illinois Invasive Species Awareness Month blog:
Emerald Ash Borer Community Preparedness Workshops in Southern Illinois.
Recent
discoveries of Emerald Ash Borer in Perry and Williamson counties underscore
the need for communities to be proactive against Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).
The University of Illinois Extension is offering the following programs for
local officials, municipalities, park districts, arborists, and others impacted
by the recent Emerald Ash Borer findings. The programs will be held at the
following locations:

become necessary.
