Volunteers are needed to assist in a special project occurring at SUNY Oswego's Rice Creek Field Station to determine if biocontrol species that have been deployed at the site can naturally suppress populations of the invasive emerald ash borers that have become established.
Targeting all native species of ash trees, the emerald ash borer has spread to 36 states including New York, and is responsible for the death and decline of tens of millions of ash trees, researchers said.
