Episode Details

Emerald ash borer has officially arrived in Vancouver, Washington — a devastating invasive beetle that’s already killed 100 million ash trees nationwide. Two locals spotted it on their car windshield in August and reported it, triggering a state response. With the potential to wipe out 90-100% of ash trees in an area within a decade, officials have imposed a firewood quarantine to slow its spread. This is a wake-up call: stay alert, report sightings at invasivespecieswa.gov, and skip planting ash trees for now.
