Emerald Ash Borer Traps To Be Placed In Cheyenne Parks
City of Cheyenne
Visitors to Cheyenne parks and other city-owned properties may notice Emerald Ash Borer [EAB] traps in trees over the next few days.
The traps are green and consist of ascending funnels with a collection cup at the bottom [see above photo]. They are being placed by the Cheyenne Urban Forestry Division in conjunction with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service [APHIS] and Wyoming State Forestry.
They are designed to trap the emerald ash borer, an insect that has killed millions of ash trees across the country. The insects are not known to be in Cheyenne but have been identified in Fort Collins and other Colorado communities.

Forest experts say the health of the region’s trees is being put to the test.
“We are learning more and more that when you make an impact to one tree, it’s felt around the forest,” said Jonathan Marchal, director of education at the North Carolina Arboretum.
“If you would ask me that question 200 years ago, I would have had a different answer for you. This would have been a forest dominated by the American Chestnut,” said Marchal.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) There s not a lot left of some trees lining Penbrooke Drive in Penfield. You ll see just some pieces of wood and stumps.
That area is where crews recently came in and took out some dead Ash Trees.
A neighbor asked News10NBC s Brennan Somers: Can the Town of Penfield come on your property and cut down a tree they believe to be diseased such as the Ash Trees? I was not given any notice whatsoever of this taking place and do not have the money to have the stump removed.
Somers took those concerns to Town Supervisor Tony LaFountain
