October 29, 2024
PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 29, 2024
"How to help protect the brown ash tree used in Wabanaki basketry from the invasive emerald ash borer.
• Cut, buy, or burn only local firewood.
• Monitor for telltale signs of infestation.
• If you own land, know if you have brown ash.
• If your ash is healthy, contact a forester or #MaineForestService about how to keep them alive.
• Collect seed pods from healthy brown ash for replanting.
• Consider offering Wabanaki artists access to your brown ash."

@DoomsdaysCW Suggesting to private land owners that if they have a #tree species that is culturally important to #Indigenous folk, they can help support the culture while at the same time, help manage a plant disease. Are there other examples of this sort of thing? Where #plants important to Indigenous people that are distributed across land ownership types, are stewarded collaboratively? This would be akin to #Cultural #Burning in northern #California.
