In the inaugural episode of Restoration Roundup, we speak with Patrick Engelken, an entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service in St. Paul, Minnesota. While working to get his graduate degree at Michigan State University, Engelken studied the effects of Emerald Ash Borer (“EAB,” scientific name: Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire in the family Buprestidae) on riparian forests. Although EAB was first discovered in Michigan in 2002, the insects were not introduced to Vermont until 2018. EAB is an invasive species native to northeastern Asia that feeds on all kinds of ash species. Ash trees provide an important service to ecosystems as a key species in riparian forests. In these ecosystems, their roots help filter out pollutants and sediments; ash trees also help regulate nutrient distribution and cycling, leaf litter deposits, and forest floor temperature. In this episode, Engelken walks us through how EAB is detrimental to ash health, as the insects attack in the phloem layer of the tree. Phloem is a thin layer of cells that transport food around the tree to parts that need it. EAB eats at that thin layer, restricting nutrients from getting to all parts of the tree, and ultimately causing the tree to die. Because of the role ash trees play in riparian ecosystems in this region, the emergence of EAB in Vermont in 2018 poses a threat not only to ash tree health, but also to efforts to promote cleaner water and wildlife habitat for a healthier Vermont.

On Monday, the Oregon Department of Forestry confirmed that the emerald ash borer has been discovered in three new counties in the Willamette Valley. In the past month, the invasive pest was caught in traps set in Marion and Yamhill counties, and is also suspected of being in neighboring Clackamas County, pending confirmation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The highly destructive beetle, which is native to Asia, has killed over 100 million ash trees nationwide since it first appeared in the U.S. over 20 years ago. The state’s agriculture and forestry departments quickly mobilized to contain it when it was first spotted in Oregon in Forest Grove in Washington County two years ago. Those efforts included issuing a quarantine that’s now permanent to prevent the movement of firewood and other plant materials out of the county made from ash, white fringe and olive trees. State crews have also removed infested ash trees and have been treating healthy trees with insecticide near infestation sites. Lilah Gonen is a community assistance forester and the emerald ash borer coordinator for ODF. They join us to talk about the state’s efforts to slow the spread of emerald ash borer and the threat it poses to native Oregon ash trees.

When a new invasive species sweeps across a region, it can leave destruction in its wake. Sometimes it's a matter of an occasional defoliation as is the case with the spongy moth. In other cases the new species can take out an entire species such as the American elm or the American chestnut. Unfortunately, the emerald ash borer is in the latter category, except that there are three species at risk. This saddens me for many reasons. Ash trees are beautiful and serve important biological roles at the base of forest food webs. They underpin important cultural traditions both for the Abenaki and for the Irish. Vermonters are well aware that black ash provides the raw materials for traditional Abenaki baskets. You may well wonder Irish tradition is fostered by Vermont ash? When I first moved to Vermont I learned at the Champlain Valley Fair, that ash root stock with a little trunk still attached was being shipped to Ireland to manufacture our traditional hurley sticks for one of our national sports: hurling (which has nothing to do with the after effects of beer consumption). The wood grain sweeping through the wood down into the root provides the necessary grain curvature to make these sticks. With our ash now infested, I sincerely hope we are not exporting it anywhere. As we lose our ash, I encourage people to plant a diverse selection of native tree species so that when the next invasive species comes, your plantings eill not be decimated.

Mike McGarry: Urban Lumber MB “So, I mean, it took a lot of lobbying and a lot of convincing to eventually get to the point where I could run a pilot project, basically just to convince the city that this is a feasible option. So, I borrowed as much money as I possibly could. I think I had, at the time, I think I had 50K to try and pull together a full sawmill facility. And I found a nice landlord that gave me a building to rent for cheap. Founded a used forklift, found an old sawmill that I rebuilt into an electric sawmill, bought an edger, and it just started milling. Just really figuring it out as I went every step of the way. The mechanical side especially was the first challenge.”   -Mike McGarry   Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Mike McGarry, the Co-Founder of Urban Lumber MB. Mike has been at the urban lumber game since about 2018. In Winnipeg, they were losing a ton of trees in their urban canopy, primarily due to Dutch Elm Disease and Emerald Ash Borer. Because of this, Mike decided, "Hey, I've seen other companies pull this off in other locations (recycle trees); why can't we do this here in Winnipeg?" However, there was a lot of red tape at the time, mainly because three levels of government were saying, "There is no way that we can allow you to run a sawmill using these trees." In this episode, Mike recounts how much lobbying and persuasion it took him to get to the point where he could launch a pilot project and persuade the city that his proposal was viable. And how he borrowed as much money and got scammed in the way just to try and pull together an entire sawmill facility. It's time to hear the complete story now! Read More
