More Money to Fight EAB in NY
The US Department of Agriculture has doubled the amount of funding it will provide to New York State to battle the spread of the emerald ash borer.
Senator Chuck Schumer says the funding has been boosted to $200,000.
The destructive beetle was found last month in Randolph, New York, and has already destroyed dozens of trees.
With the extra money, New York's Department of Environmental Conservation will be able to survey the state to determine the extent of the infestation, and create and enact a plan to fight the spread of the beetle.
