and keep records of where ash is located to be able to monitor for EAB, collect seed, and implement management plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown, green, and white ash grow on a gradient of soil moisture from high to medium. Brown ash is most competitive in areas where it \u201ckeeps its feet wet\u201d in wetlands or along streams, while green ash grows in similarly moist soils and also in more upland areas, and white ash in upland sites with mesic (moist) soils. You can use aerial imagery to identify potential ash tree stands within forests:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yCwVbOMNxmI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out this video made by Colleen Teerling for instruction on how to use Google Earth to find stands.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One can identify different types of ash by their distinctive bark, leaves, fruit, twigs, and wood.

threats of EAB and climate change are impacting Maine\u2019s forests, it is more urgent than ever before to obtain geographic and characteristic data about ash trees in private and conserved lands.

Data you collect&nbsp;will help the Maine Forest Service monitor emerald ash borer outbreaks, support APCAW in finding potential seed-bearing trees for research, and Wabanaki ash harvesters find potential basket quality ash trees. Instructions and data sheets detailing how to collect data and inventory ash forests can be found on the Ecosystem Investigative Network\u2019s&nbsp;<a

the widespread death of ash trees will be costly and result in dysfunctional ecosystems. Researchers have developed numerous findings about strategies to manage ash, inlcuding biological controls, insecticides, protection of mother trees for seed collection, regenerating alternative species, and monitoring for lingering ash. There is no one size fits all solution, and engaging in multiple types of management will be necessary. Each person who cares for forests will have to decide which strategies work for them in considering the amount of ash on their land, economic feasibility, and support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a starting point, you can review these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/harvardforest1.fas.harvard.edu\/publications\/pdfs\/Catanzaro_EAB_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ten Recommendations for Managing Ash<\/a>\u00a0by the Forest Stewards Guild and the <a href=\"https:\/\/masswoods.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pdf-doc-ppt\/Managing_New_England_Forests_Threatened_By_EAB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Managing Northeastern Forests Threatened by EAB<\/a> guide. <strong>Or, explore three recommended management strategies on the featured tabs below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether EAB has reached your area, it is recommended that municipalities, conservation organizations, and private landowners develop ash management plans. Many municipalities in Maine already have EAB response plans so we recommend that you get in contact with your local regulators for advice and additional resources.&nbsp;<a

Maintaining a living seed bank of ash trees will guarantee that ash can be reforested after initial EAB infestations. For example the <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalmaine.com\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1220&amp;context=for_docs\">EAB guide for Maine Forest Managers<\/a> recommends maintaining overstory ash trees in order to promote regeneration and monitor for lingering ash. Regeneration is a crucial part of ensuring that sustainable sources of brown ash exist on the landscape for Wabanaki use and ecosystem health. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-2 kt-inner-tab5a4062-25\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<p>Insecticide treatments can save in the long term on removal costs and preserve seed-bearing trees.

They specialize in attacking EAB and help reduce its numbers. MFS is looking for more sites to release these biological controls agents.

and Managing Ash (MaMA) program, within the Ecological Research Institute, defines lingering ash as &#8220;chemically untreated trees that were mature (\u2265 4\u201d DBH) during peak EAB invasion and stayed healthy \u2265 2 yrs. after EAB killed\u2265 95% of nearby ash&#8221; (Rosenthal &amp; Wildova, 2025). MaMA organizes a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitoringash.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">community science projects<\/a> that can assist in revealing lingering ash at different phases of invasion. Once potential lingering ash trees have been identified, their scion and seed can be collected for resistance breeding research. This research, led by the US Forest Service, crosses trees with lingering traits and studies EAB resistance in their progeny. You can listen to one of the leaders of this research, Dr. Jennifer Koch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uHBKJMBPb2k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">describe this research design<\/a> beginning at minute 40 of this webinar. Results are already showing that selective breeding can produce ash trees that kill EAB at a higher rate than non-bred trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to leave a section of ash on land you manage untreated and uncut, this area may be well suited for long-term monitoring plot research which can discern lingering ash trees. To learn more about participating in community science projects of this nature, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitoringash.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MaMA&#8217;s website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see which community science trip is appropriate for the level of EAB infestation in your area, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitoringash.org\/mama-action-maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MaMA Action Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identifying ash In order to prepare for the onset of EAB in our forests, it is important to know how to distinguish between ash species and keep records of where ash is located to be able to monitor for EAB, collect seed, and implement management plans.
