On Elaine's and my 38 acres in Botetourt County, Virginia, the emerald ash borer has arrived with a vengenance. My son-in-law David first pointed out the fact several weeks ago, and now I have made a survey of our land, and most of the ashes are dead or dying.
I have cut one of the dying ones down for firewood and marked several others for removal. David has also noted several that he will cut down for firewood, as David and his family also live on this land.
Invasive species are a threat to wildlife and wildlife habitat. And that has become apparent once again on my little postage stamp of land.
