SHELBURNE, VERMONT - JUNE 4: Teachers Tree Service arborist Matthew Parker checks lines to injection valves as an insecticide is absorbed by an ash tree preventing the emerald ash borer insect from infesting and killing the ash tree in Shelburne, Vermont on June 4, 2020. Native to Asia, emerald ash borer was introduced to the United States near Detroit in 2002 in wooden packaging material. The insects attack ash trees by laying eggs on the bark followed by the larvae eating its way into the inner bark consuming the trees nutrients and water. Hundreds of millions of ash trees have already died due to the emerald ash borer. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)
