Article Abstract:
Crews are cutting healthy ash trees within a half-mile radius of infested trees, which are then removed, chipped and burned to prevent the further spread of emerald ash borer as they are entering Detroit. They are responsible for the death of approximately 15 million of Michigan's 700 million ash trees, and infested forests in parts of Indiana, Ohio and Ontario.
