The Lower Hudson region includes some areas that have long been invaded by Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), some where this pest has yet to appear, and others where it has been detected only recently. Thus, as the Lower Hudson MaMA Action Map, below, indicates, the appropriate tasks to cope with this pest and conserve ash vary widely from place to place within this region. You can download an interactive, georeferenced version of this map that can even be opened on your smartphone (map and instructions here); then, your actual location on it and the actions prioritized for it will be shown in real time.
To find out more about steps that you can take to implement the MaMA framework for ash conservation and EAB management in the Lower Hudson region, four different webinars specifically tailored to this region were presented on 8/12/20 and 8/13/20, and recorded versions of them are available here. Additional informational resources on the MaMA program and how you can participate it are available on the other pages of this website – you’re encouraged to explore them
The webinars, this web page, and other aspects of MaMA implementation in the Lower Hudson region were funded by the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (using funds from the Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation).
2022-PRISM-MaMA-action-map-updatedThis map was generated by the Ecological Research Institute (ERI) based on EAB detection data and ash health data from MaMA’s citizen-science projects, along with EAB detection data from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and iMapInvasives (and in some instances, ERI-validated direct reports of EAB occurrence on iNaturalist).
