Just seems reckless to me, but what do I know? 
Has EAB arrived on the west coast now?

I'm from CT where the ash have been gone for awhile but it's great to see sprouts and saplings coming up.
I just got back from a week in Maine, it was a deep pleasure to see big, beautiful, healthy ash trees in the area. An arborist I spoke to previously about it said I'm currently in a pocket as yet unaffected by EAB though apparently north and south of my area is afflicted.

I believe Oregon is/has released bio control insects. The wording they used was any inadvertent impact which is expected is weighted against the impacts of EAB and deemed the lessor of evils.

One challenge of timing the release is you cannot release the parasitoids ahead of EAB showing up. They need a food source to build their own population. But if you wait too long, EAB is so well established that you cannot reasonably stop it. I think that is why the "long term equilibrium" is the goal.

One of the better articles this yr. It's reported in surrounding towns but not yet sighted in mine. Quite dreading/depressing and I'm very sad.

In what may be a completely single malt induced haze, I keep wondering why somebody (ISA are you there????) doesn't elect to establish and maintain a webpage/ site with a compendium of current research and methods of control of insect/ fungal etc. pests. Lotsa Master Arb types around? Take the "Study Guide or some such, put in some web links and keep the ones online up to date. We take arb courses and their study guide and/or course content goes to great length in pointing out, say, insect pests. But I get back to the two word question - So What? Are we progressing?
Years ago I was in meetings with a crusty old refining department VP who stated a truism I carry to this day.
He said:
"I get people coming to me all day with problems,
But what we need is people who come with say, three options for fixing said problem.
For example for health or safety issues, Do We Comply with the Law, Do We Ned to Do More and Why?,
What are three options for getting us there and,
Here's the kicker,
Which one Would You Pick And Why - IF YOU WERE SPENDING YOUR OWN MONEY?"
Armed with that, I was never turned down on any issue, and no meetings we had with him after that were longer than an hour or so. It was bliss.
Sorry if this sounds like a rant.

Out here OSU, DNR, and a few others have quite a bit of free information. But I’d love some more in-depth study
