'Show Us Your Ash,' asks OSU program

In order to highlight the many ways that ash can be utilized, even as the borer kills trees, the OSU team is asking people to get creative with the extra ash wood and share their images of their handiwork.

“Chainsaw carvings, crafts, furniture, sports implements, and even milled boards used in a building,” said OSU Extension Educator and Ohio State EAB Outreach Team Coordinator Amy Stone. “We want to find out how citizens and businesses are utilizing this hardwood resource to make something valuable and constructive.”

Photographs and links to YouTube videos can be sent to showusyourash @gmail.com; the images will be featured on ashalert.osu.edu.
