I reported my issue to the USDA (they have an EAB hotline) evidently the ash borer was first discovered in my area in 2018. They were basically like " Yeah, sorry we know. Nothing we can do about it" But I like to report these kinds of things if it is going to help the scientific community understand an issue better, it's all about data. I do the same thing when I see an armadillo. There is a college professor studying the migration of the armadillo, so when I see one (usually dead) I report it. Helps them understand how the populations are changing.

I have been cutting/collecting ash trees for the 5 years we have been on the property. Being in northern Michigan we have lost all of ours. Lots of down trees that we are still gathering for fire wood. Yes, some are junk, if down on the ground to long. Have also processed some on the sawmill. Dropped a lot of standing dead ash along the drive this spring. Stacked in 8ft logs, ran through fire wood processor this Sept, starting to burn now in wood boiler. Jon
