Emerald Ash Borer Threatens PNW Forests | Seattle News
Description
A new ecological nightmare is unfolding in the Pacific Northwest: the Emerald Ash Borer, a deadly invasive beetle already decimating ash trees across North America, has been spotted near the Vancouver border. This pest could wipe out 90-100% of regional ash trees within a decade — including the native Oregon ash — triggering massive environmental fallout for wildlife and soil health. Though ash trees aren’t major lumber players here, their loss would ripple through ecosystems. Officials are racing to contain the spread before it’s too late.
