While walking near her home in Berlin, Vt., Linda Maclay, left, stopped to talk with Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation Forester Neil Monteith as he searched a stand of ash trees on the bank of Berlin Pond for signs of emerald ash borer larva activity Monday, April 23, 2018. Monteith was one of a group of foresters and entomologists checking suspect trees for the larva of the invasive insect. Though some trees showed evidence of infestations by native insects, no larvae of the emerald ash borer were found. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
