Move To Protect Prominent Tree From Invasive Insect

Indiana officials are working to save select ash trees from an insect that’s killed the trees across a large swath of the state. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says it’s using chemical treatments to protect large ash trees in state parks and nature preserves in parts of Indiana so far unaffected by the emerald ash borer. The DNR says the insect invader has killed nearly all mature ash trees in the northern two-thirds of Indiana.
