A few years ago (earlier than 2010?) there was a severe crown dieback  
in white ashes in Habitant, east of Canning, King's County, but I  
don't recall whether the cause was discovered.  Nancy Nickerson, I  
think I reported it to you, but I don't recall what you may have  
responded?

Below is a link to an article on this I found on the Care2 Causes Web  
site:

100,000 Ash Trees Killed By Fungus In UK
by Judy Molland
November 8, 2012
[One paragraph in the above article is on the Mountain Pine Beetle  
devastation of pines in western U.S. & Canada, but this example is  
not relevant here because the M.P. Beetle is a native insect there,  
and its abundance through its range is a climate-change phenomenon  
coupled with forest and fire management strategies that produced too  
many susceptible trees etc.][JW]]

Cheers from Jim in central B.C., where recovery from MPBs will take a  
long, long time.
