Officials Need Help Collecting Oregon Ash Tree Seeds, Even on the CoastPublished 08/05/25 at 5:55 p.m.By Oregon Coast Beach Connection Staff(Salem, Oregon) - The USDA Forest Service and Oregon State University, in collaboration with regional partners, are leading a large-scale seed collection initiative this fall to help protect Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) from the destructive emerald ash borer (EAB). Even those on the Oregon coast are asked to help, although it usually involves areas of the coast range and away from the actual beaches. “Oregon ash do not occur naturally here on the coast, but many are planted as street trees and in small woodlands,” Stark told Oregon Coast Beach Connection.
