The tuliptree to the right of the giraffe slide has aphids. I'll explain why that's important later.

Now this is something that will work as a further inducement towards purchasing a membership for locals with little kids. HUGE improvement over the old one. I'm interested in learning why the aphids are significant.

So when do we find out about the tulip tree?

Also, how bad of a threat is Emerald Ash Borer to the Boston area? Do you have more info?

I'll put the tuliptree issue on my reminder list.

As far as I've heard, the Emerald ash borers were found in one location in one town in Western Mass. I do have a friend who works on such issues but I haven't heard anything from her yet.
