The Ecological Research Institute has started a Monitoring and Managing Ash program, with a call to action for citizen scientists to help identify lingering ash, especially green and black ash that are much less common in New York state. Black ash has cultural importance to Indigenous communities, such as the Haudenosaunee in New York and Canada, who use it for ceremony, weaving and basket-making.
“ We are looking forward to the day where ash are returned to our forests, strengthening the health of our ecosystems and the communities that depend on them,” Bittner said.
