Wellsboro and the Emerald Ash Boerer

Driving up through Wellsboro on Sunday I noticed great sections of the hillsides were leafless despite being still green in surrounding areas. πŸŒ³πŸ‚πŸŒ²At first I thought it was that the leaves were past peak and I just wasn’t looking carefully enough but then I realized that the hills have been denuded by the Emerald Ash Boerer. The great stands of ash have been killed off that little bug πŸ› from Asia that loves πŸ’˜ to burrow in to Ash Trees and incidentally block the trees water pathways.
