Emerald Ash Borer Confirmed in Minneapolis

25 02 2010

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has confirmed an infestation in the Prospect Park East River Road neighborhood of Minneapolis within Tower Hill Park.

We knew Emerald Ash Borer would have spread from the St Paul site and this is within miles of the first-located infestation.

I’ll post more tomorrow. Here is the MDA release.

Have a great night!

How many ash trees are in Minnesota? Minnesota has the most ash trees of any state in the country. There are an estimated 867 million forestland ash trees in the state!!! That does not include the millions in our urban forest.

What can I do? Don’t move and firewood or any ash trees or parts.
