ISU Extension hosting Emerald Ash Borer meeting

An informational meeting on emerald ash borer (EAB) will be held for the public Thursday, Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Gold Building in Red Oak.
 Emerald ash borer is a small, metallic green beetle about ½ inch long that is destructive and invasive. It was discovered in rural Montgomery County in August of this year.
 The meeting will focus on the history of EAB in Iowa, how the insect works, and treatment options for owners of ash trees. Presenters include Mike Kintner of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and Lindsey Barney of the Iowa Department of Natural Resourcer.
 The meeting is free and hosted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Montgomery County. Please call 623-2592 or email Stephanie Langner at slangner@iastate.edu with questions.
