Description
This week on Inside Boulder News: The Emerald Ash Borer has a tiny, new enemy in town; the Gregory Canyon access road and trailhead reopen after the 2013 flood; and summertime brings visitors of all kinds to Boulder.
A
Welcome
to
inside
boulder
news,
I'm
ashley
pro
in
the
fall
of
2013,
the
city
of
boulder,
discovered
emerald
ash
borer
within
city
limits.
Emerald
ash
borer
is
a
non-native
tree
pests,
that's
responsible
for
the
death
of
tens
of
millions
of
ash
trees
in
the
united
states.
Since
the
discovery
the
city
of
boulder
has
worked
with
cu,
the
Colorado
Department
of
Agriculture
and
other
agencies
to
manage
the
spread
of
the
insect
as
part
of
the
multi-faceted
management
approach.
A
B
Newest
species
OBS
will
lay
its
eggs
inside
the
egg
of
an
emerald
ash
borer,
which
has
some
different
advantages
that
when
we
released
last
fall
to
traffic
is
one
of
the
advantages
is
that
tetris
thickest
seeks
out
emerald
ash
borer
larvae,
which
are
already
inside
the
tree
and
doing
the
damage.
This
newest
wasp
Mobius
lays
its
egg
inside
the
egg
of
emerald
ash
borer,
which
remains
on
the
bark
of
the
tree.
So
it's
able
to
stop
emerald
ash
borer
before
it
actually
begins
doing
any
of
its
major
damage
inside
the
tree.
It's.

Ash
tree
that's
been
affected
by
emerald
ash.
Borer
I
will
typically
begin
to
decline
from
the
top
down.
The
insects
typically
attack
the
crown
first,
it's
common
to
see
miniaturised
leaves
and
parts
of
the
tree,
often
one
particular
large
limb,
orly
first
we'll
show
signs
and
essentially
what's
happening.
Is
the
the
boars
have
infested
the
small
larvae
heaven
infested
a
branch
and
begun
to
cut
off
the
circulation
in
that
branch.
B
A
Boulder
org
has
updated
maps
of
where
emerald
ash
borer
has
been
detected
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
as
well
as
different
strategies
for
protecting
and
treating
your
trees
for
help
making
the
best
decisions.
The
website
also
has
a
list
of
licensed
certified
arborist
after
completing
significant
flood
rebuilding
work,
open
space
and
mountain
parks
reopened,
the
gregory
canyon,
access
road
and
trail
head
last
week.
Both
the
access
road
and
the
gregory
canyon
trailhead
sustained
severe
damage
in
the
2013
flood.
When.
D
Floods
came
down
the
gregory
canyon,
they
ripped
apart
the
road
it
caused
significant
damage
to
the
trailhead,
making
it
unsafe
for
visitors,
and
so
as
part
of
our
flood
recovery
effort.
We've
certainly
prioritized
projects
in
order
to
get
people
back
on
to
the
land
and
so
Gregory,
Canyon,
Trail
trailhead
and
the
access
road
they
actually
were.
We
slightly
delayed
that
project
in
order
to
allow
Boulder
County
to
rebuild
flagstaff
road,
and
so
now
that
we've
reopened
it.
D
D
Sixty
projects
are
still
on
the
drawing
board,
so
there's
work
still
ahead
and
we're
working
towards
completing
these
projects.
In
addition
to
completing
some
of
the
big
departmental
priorities
we
have
right
now.
Those
include
the
north
trail
study
area
plan,
the
agricultural
resources
management
plan
and
the
implementation
of
projects
that
were
included
in
the
west
trail
study
area
plan
with.
D
The
wake
of
the
floods
I
know
that
we've
had
at
least
76
volunteer
projects
to
help
us
rebuild
trails,
restore
agricole,
fencing,
restore
our
landscapes
and
improve
our
water
delivery
systems.
So
without
their
help
we
would
have
so
much
more
work
to
tackle.
It's
really
been
incredibly
overwhelming
for
me
personally,
then,
I
think
for
the
staff,
broadly
just
to
see
the
level
of
generosity
displayed
by
our
community
in
the
wake
of
the
floods.
If.
A
You
want
to
get
your
hands
dirty
and
help
out
this
summer.
There
are
several
upcoming
volunteer
opportunities,
including
farming
projects,
forestry
projects,
seed
collection
projects
and
trail
building
projects
for
a
complete
list
visit
o
SMP
org
summertime
in
Boulder
attracts
visitors
of
all
kinds.
Recently
we
saw
proof
of
that
when
a
moose
checked
out
the
night
life
on
Pearl
Street
and
a
video
of
a
mountain
line
through
a
glass
door
in
a
boulder
backyard
went
viral.
Although
these
two
encounters
may
be
unusual,
wildlife
sightings
in
the
city
are
relatively
common
for.
C
C
We
get
consistent,
sightings
in
town,
and
we
hope
that
coyotes
maintain
their
natural
fear
of
people
people,
but
they
can
become
habituated
either
to
feeding
or
just
getting
really
to
use
to
people
and
when
they
lose
that
natural
fear
of
people
and
just
get
really
used
to
hanging
around
it's
important
to
call
it
in
and
what
folks
know.
So.
We
can
pay
a
little
bit
more
attention
and
prevent
any
biter
or
serious
conflict
between
people
and
coyotes
before.
A
C
We
have
a
fortunate
amazing
location
in
Boulder
with
natural
areas
surrounding
us
and
a
really
important
aspect
of
coexisting
with
wildlife
is
ensuring
we're
not
drawing
them
into
the
urban
area.
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
making
sure
that
there's
not
unnatural
food
sources
available
for
wildlife,
like
pet
food
left
out
or
trash?
That's
unsecured,
because
if
we're
have
these
unnatural
food
sources
available
to
wildlife,
it's
not
only
unhealthy
for
the
animals,
but
it
draws.
The
minute
increases
the
likelihood
of
conflicts
with
people.
If.
A
You
do
happen
to
encounter
wildlife
like
a
bear
in
your
backyard
call
the
boulder
police
at
30,
3,
4,

If
you
want
to
report
coyote,
behavior
or
another
animal
that
you've
seen
and
it
isn't
an
immediate
concern,
you
can
call
Valerie
Matheson
directly
at
3034
for

for
for
additional

boulder

took
part
in
a
Coast

Coast
Relay

support
the

week
on
Tuesday

A
The

hope

Athens
Greece
