Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

This park has numerous ash trees and some of them have die back and don’t look well. I did not see any insects or other physical evidence but I think somebody who has knowledge should come check this park out.

Commentary

Thank you for your report! So far EAB has not been confirmed outside of the original detection area. Checking out vulnerable stands of ash trees will be important to slowing the spread. Thanks for being on the lookout!
