<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 17, 2010) The purple boxes are up on ash trees again this summer. They’re traps for the emerald ash borer, an invasive bug that has devastated ash stands in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. In this state, the insect’s been confined to western New York. Today we revisit the fight against the emerald ash borer. David Sommerstien has more.

<title>Inside purple boxes, a trap for an invader</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 13, 2009) If you’ve driven almost anywhere in the North Country this summer, you’ve probably seen those purple boxes hanging by the side of the road.  They’re traps for an invasive bug that threatens to decimate New York’s ash trees, about 8% of the state’s forests.  The emerald ash borer was found in New York two months ago, in the western New York town of Randolph.  Federal and state environment officials destroyed that stand of ash trees.  And they’ve hung more than 5,000 of the purple traps, half in the North Country, to see if they find any more emerald ash borers.  So far, they haven’t.  Russell Martin is a forest technician for the Department of Environmental Conservation.  He lives in Newton Falls and he’s logged more than 12,000 miles in a Chevy Venture van setting and checking on the purple traps.  David Sommerstein joined Martin on an expedition off Route 11 between Canton and Potsdam.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 13, 2009) Listen to the DEC&apos;s Russell Martin describe research about a kind of wasp that eats emerald ash borers, and may be used in the fight to save ash trees.
