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.

Publishing date: May 19, 2021 • 1 day ago • 4 minute read • Pictured above is a four foot long section of bark that peeled off an Ash tree in the Morrisburg waterfront park after an infestation of Emerald Ash Borer beetles killed the tree. Dead trees, like the one this section of bark came from, are a safety hazard in the parks which is why the municipality is removing 43 dead trees this year and planting new species to fill the voids in tree cover.
