North Notes

Emerald Ash Borer in Minnesota


In 2009 the emerald ash borer was found in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul. This year it was found in the Prospect Park East River Road neighborhood of Minneapolis and the Upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlife Area of Houston County.

As a result, hardwood firewood, ash trees and ash products in Hennepin, Houston and Ramsey counties are quarantined. Firewood originating from a quarantined county in Minnesota will be approved only for use in that county. Firewood from counties contiguous to quarantined counties in Minnesota will be approved only for use in those counties.
