Partners work together to reduce the spread of the emerald ash borer

Over the past few months, a coalition of organizations including Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District (TSWCD), Clean Water Services (CWS), Metro, Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), US Forest Service and others have joined together across multiple jurisdictions to study and reduce the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB). First sighted in Oregon in June of 2022, the EAB poses a significant threat to Oregon’s native ash trees and interconnected ecosystems.
