The purpose of the Awareness Week is to encourage state residents and visitors to become better educated about the emerald ash borer (EAB) and the destruction it causes. In observance of EAB Awareness Week, DEC, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and volunteers will post signs and tie ribbons around approximately 3000 ash trees along select streets and in parks around the state. The signs will inform citizens that those ash trees, and all of New York State's 900 million ash trees, could be killed by the emerald ash borer.
