Williamstown Prepares for the Emerald Ash Borer

This summer please slow down if you see two to three folks in orange safety vests and face masks walking the back roads of Williamstown. The Winooski Natural Resource Conservation District is mobilizing staff and interns to help Williamstown inventory all the Ash trees along the sides of town roads and on municipal property. Inventory work is noting the size of the trees, where they are located and whether they are showing any signs of infestation from the Emerald Ash Borer. The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive pest originally from Asia. Found in surrounding states as early as 2014, it was first identified in Vermont in 2018 and it is only a matter of time before it reaches the woods of Williamstown. Most infested Ash trees die within 3-5 years and become very brittle, posing a public safety hazard if the trees are located by where people walk, drive, or play - like along roadways or in public spaces like playgrounds. Williamstown is working with the Winooski NRCD to use the inventory data to draft an Emerald Ash Borer Response Plan. Once the town knows how many Ash trees are located within the public right-of-way, we can begin planning a response to address the hazard. You can learn more about the Emerald Ash Borer and what you can do to prepare on your own property here. Look out this fall for a presentation to the Select Board on the draft response plan for public feedback. This initiative is supported in part by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, Urban & Community Forestry Program, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Washington Electric Cooperative Community Fund.

If you have questions about the inventory or want to volunteer your time, you can contact the Winooski NRCD at info@winooskinrcd.org ... See MoreSee Less
