Central New York ecosystems and community trees will be devastated by the advance of emerald ash borer through the region. Below is a workshop that will be staged by New York Releaf in Cortland to prepare people for the coming changes. People interested in the Flora of New York should also be prepared for changes that will take place in plant communities throughout the state. Unlike the chestnut and elm losses of the past, the experts say that ash will be completely eliminated because the insects also feed on small trees.
