Threat To Business
Most of Hillerich and Bradsby's wood bats are made from Northern White Ash grown in proprietary forests on the New York/Pennsylvania border. Ash trees in the United States are now under attack from the Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive insect species native to Asia and first detected in Michigan in 2002. While H&B's forests are not yet infested by the beetle, the area being destroyed is growing and moving closer to them. The company is making plans to utilize other woods in the event North America's ash forests are totally destroyed.
