The invasive emerald ash borer has the potential to destroy over 3 million acres of black ash wetlands across the region, according to a recent study published in the journal Ecological Applications.

In our newest TikTok, Echo reporter Brooklyn Peppo takes a closer look at the study and talks about potential management strategies for the region.
