EAB Trees Turned into Baseball Bats

Did you know the trees cut down because of the emerald ash borer can be turned into lumber for Little League bats and other uses? The borers do not bore through the tree, so the wood is usable. Wilmette Village president Chris Canning is having a couple of borer infested trees in his yard, cut down and turned into bats for the Wilmette Little League. Horigan Urban Forest Products cuts the ash tree logs into boards.
