Have you seen this sign?


Project personnel access
If you see a sign like the one shown below, it is marking a tree that has been made as attractive as possible to lure and then trap any Emerald Ash Borers that may be in  the region. The purpose of trees such as these is to help detect any insects that may have spread beyond the quarantine area. Approximately 120 sites used heavily by the public throughout Michigan will have several trap trees located in each.
