Our Project

Emerald Ash Borer is an exotic beetle that infests and kills Ash tress. It was first found in the United States in 2002 and as of May 2018, it has been found in 33 states. Since then it has killed hundreds of millions of Ash trees and cost property owners, municipalities and forest services hundreds of millions of dollars. Our aim is to detect them with the help of effective traps.
