The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is a beetle from Asia that feeds on the tissue under the bark of ash trees. The EAB is the most destructive forest insect ever to invade the United States, and has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees in urban, rural, and forested settings. The StoryMaps and publications shown below in the resource library provide more detail about EAB in Virginia, the work that’s been done so far, treatment options, and how you can protect your ash tree.
The Ash Treatment Cost-Share program provides assistance for treating individual trees.
