The Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) is threatening the integrity of our forests.  This non-native pest is damaging many of our native hardwood trees in the greater Worcester area.  There is currently a massive effort to remove and destroy all infected trees within a large quarantine area around Worcester.  There is a distinct possibility that ALB has escaped out of this quarantine zone.  Please learn how to identify the tell-tale signs of ALB and be sure to look for them on trees in your backyard, neighborhood and the natural areas you visit.
