On this week's episode of Everything Under the Sun, host Raleigh Burleigh talks with Town of Carbondale Arborist Carl Meinecke about the threat posed by the emerald ash borer (EAB), which was recently discovered in Carbondale. Carbondale is the first town on the Western Slope to confirm infestations by the invasive pest, which has killed tens of millions of ash trees in the U.S. and Canada. Ash trees likely make up 10 to 15 percent of the urban tree canopy in Carbondale, and EAB can infest and kill both struggling and healthy trees in just two years.
