Even slowing the spread will assist -- but history is not good for the stopping of invasives, and those few success stories took a massive effort backed by huge economic consequences --

People can help stop the spread -- and this is highly important behavior modification.

Living in the heart of the infestation, the only sure thing is that eventually there will be no ash trees around...unless they are hybrids. It's like the American Chestnut...gone. Regular treatments with the right insecticide, has stopped damage on my one huge black ash, but it won't save it forever.
