Tribal members, and forest caretakers working together to bring more awareness of the cultural and ecological significance of brown ash. Our First Nations, State, Federal, and nongovernmental partners have been working collectively for 20 years to understand and mitigate ash health issues through the Brown Ash Task Force, including emerald ash borer (EAB) and climate change. APCAW continues and amplifies this work by identifying research-informed strategies to protect brown ash that align with Wabanaki priorities and current research.

in Wabanaki languages as wikp (Peskotomuhkati-Wolastoqey), w\u00edk\u0259pi (Penobscot), or wisqoq (Mi\u2019kmaq). In most translations, these words mean \u201cbasket tree&#8221; as this tree is used for basket making. Brown ash is interwoven with Wabanaki community identity and spirituality. Part of APCAW\u2019s work is to center, protect, and restore relationships between Wabanaki peoples and ash ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basketmakers and researchers alike are concerned what the loss of ash trees will mean for ecosystems. Ash trees serve major ecological functions by supporting an array of fungal biodiversity and host 98 species of specialized invertebrates. Brown ash specifically plays a highly influential role in regulating hydrology and supplying nutrient-rich leaf litter for surrounding food webs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three species of ash are threatened by the emerald ash borer (EAB), a beetle native to Asia that is predicted to cause ash mortality within 2-4 years of infestation without intervention. Brown ash is slightly more vulnerable to EAB than white and green ash, and researchers predict 75% of brown ash in Maine will have succumbed to EAB by 2035 and 95% by 2040 (Siegert et al. 2023).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column736_f92514-15 > .kt-inside-inner-col{display:flex;}.kadence-column736_f92514-15 >

We refer to the place where we are located as Waponahkik in an effort to center Wabanaki languages and ways of knowing. In the Passamaquoddy language, one definition of Waponahkik is the land of the dawn, or in Wabanaki territory. This word is sometimes translated into English as Dawnland or &#8220;in the place of the people of the dawn.&#8221; Words with alternative English spellings (i.e. Wabanakik or Ckuwaponahkik) but similar meanings exist in other Algonquin languages. Waponahkik (see map left) stretches well beyond the borders of Maine, including the parts of the Canadian Maritimes and Quebec south of the St. Lawrence River, to the shores of Lake Champlain to the west and the Piscataqua River to the south.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id736_cfdd2d-cc >
