Episode Details

Emerald ash borer has made a major leap in Oregon—now confirmed in Salem, Beaverton, Rockcreek, and even the Oregon Garden—marking its first appearance in state parks and raising alarms across the Willamette Valley. First spotted last year in Forest Grove, this invasive beetle has spread to five counties, triggering a quarantine on moving firewood or ash parts. Cities are responding fast: Salem’s treating thousands of public trees, injecting key ones, and halting new plantings; Beaverton’s already treated 600 street trees with grant funds. If you spot one—call 1-866-INVADER or report online with photos. Ash trees, native or planted, are at risk.
