  6. So, I attended part of the #APCAW conference tonight. Lots of good information about #EAB, and traditional use of #Ash. And that not all ash trees are good for basketry! I'll be posting what I learned (as well as other resources) later this week...

  11. How to protect #AshTrees and preserve a #Wabanaki tradition
    October 29, 2024

    PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 29, 2024

    "How to help protect the brown ash tree used in Wabanaki basketry from the invasive emerald ash borer.

    • Cut, buy, or burn only local firewood.
    • Monitor for telltale signs of infestation.
    • If you own land, know if you have brown ash.
    • If your ash is healthy, contact a forester or #MaineForestService about how to keep them alive.
    • Collect seed pods from healthy brown ash for replanting.
    • Consider offering Wabanaki artists access to your brown ash."

  16. #EmeraldAshBorer Confirmed on #MountDesertIsland

    Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry sent this bulletin at 04/01/2025 03:42 PM EDT

    AUGUSTA, #Maine — "Maine State Forester Patty Cormier today announced that the #MaineForestService (#MFS) Forest Health and Monitoring Division has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (#EAB) on Mount Desert Island (#MDI) outside of the previously regulated area.

    "A licensed professional arborist in Bar Harbor made the detection. The infested area shows signs of a well-established EAB population, with visible damage to ash trees from public roads.

    "'This is an unfortunate but not entirely unexpected discovery,' said Cormier. 'We’ve known that EAB continues to spread throughout Maine, and we appreciate the vigilance of local arborists and community members. Public awareness is important to detecting and responding to this destructive forest pest.'

    "As a result of this detection, the Maine Department of Agriculture Conservation and Forestry will expand the current EAB quarantine to include all towns on MDI. This non-contiguous quarantine may help slow the spread.

    "Key guidance for landowners, municipalities, and the public includes:

    - #AshTree material should remain on MDI. Logs, branches, or wood waste from removed trees should be disposed of on-site or at an island-based disposal facility.
    - Ash chips are not regulated and may be legally transported off the island.
    - High-value ash trees that are not heavily infested can be evaluated and may be preserved through systemic insecticide treatment by licensed pesticide applicators. These treatments require periodic reapplication.
    - Infested ash trees will decline quickly and become structurally unstable. Property owners and managers are urged to evaluate ash trees near infrastructure for potential treatment or removal.

    "The MFS and collaborators, including the Ash Protection Collaboration Across #Wabanakik's (#APCAW), Sustaining Ash Partners Network (#SAPNe), and #USDA Animal and Plant Inspection Service, continue to support ongoing mitigation efforts, including:

    - Release of biological control organisms from federal partners by MFS through community partnerships.
    - Seed collection and protection for future restoration led by APCAW.
    - Education and technical support by varied partners.
    - Public tree management and replanting through state and federal funding opportunities.

    "'Emerald ash borer is one of the most damaging forest pests we face,' added Cormier. 'By working together—with awareness, early detection, and coordinated response—we can slow its spread and protect Maine’s forest resources.'"

  21. There's a companion website for #TheWoodsInYourBackyard ! Sweet! It also has PDF versions of the book (I like having physical copies of books).

    The Woods in Your Backyard

    "This web site was developed as a companion piece to 'The Woods in Your Backyard: A Guide to Your Woodland.' This resource guide was developed by the Maine Forest Service to help you understand the woods in your backyard and provide ideas about how to work with your property, whether you own a 1-acre lot or 20 acres on the edge of town.

    "A directory of state agencies and natural resource-based organizations can be found beginning on page 3 in Chapter 1 and also in the Chapter 1 section below. These agencies are good initial contacts and a great source of additional information on a variety of topics.

    "'Backyard Family Activities' are included at the end of each chapter to help you learn more about your property as a family. The activities are most suitable for older children and teens, and they all require adult supervision. Teachers and youth group leaders can adapt them for use with older students. When completed, the Backyard Family Activities also provide a planning framework for working in your woods.

    "We hope you enjoy this web site and find the information enjoyable and valuable!"

    The Woods in Your Backyard

    "This web site was developed as a companion piece to 'The Woods in Your Backyard: A Guide to Your Woodland.' This resource guide was developed by the Maine Forest Service to help you understand the woods in your backyard and provide ideas about how to work with your property, whether you own a 1-acre lot or 20 acres on the edge of town.

    "A directory of state agencies and natural resource-based organizations can be found beginning on page 3 in Chapter 1 and also in the Chapter 1 section below. These agencies are good initial contacts and a great source of additional information on a variety of topics.

    "'Backyard Family Activities' are included at the end of each chapter to help you learn more about your property as a family. The activities are most suitable for older children and teens, and they all require adult supervision. Teachers and youth group leaders can adapt them for use with older students. When completed, the Backyard Family Activities also provide a planning framework for working in your woods.

    "We hope you enjoy this web site and find the information enjoyable and valuable!"
