Many Ash trees along the main roads in King Township are sporting the signs seen in the top photo, on their trunks, while what appear to be a triangular, green, box kite is suspended in the tree branches above the sign (lower photo above). The project is an attempt to get a handle on on the presence of the deadly Emerald Ash Borer, which has decimated thousands of Ash trees in southern York Region over the past several years. Below, a closer view of the insect trap shows many insects caught but only the experts can determine the presence and number of the target insect. The bottom photo shows a trap that was a victim of last Friday's punishing winds and rain. More info is available at www.york.ca.
