Killing EAB

Caption

Tina Ciaramitaro, USDA Forest Service Technician, and Tom Baweja, USDA Forest Service Biological Aide, toss logs into the Red Cedar River near Okemos, Mich. Research established that submerging logs for 18 weeks during winter or 14 weeks in spring killed emerald ash borer (EAB) and also retained the wood's quality for basketmaking.
