Emerald ash borer alert - new infestation found just miles from Iowa in Wisconsin
This came out today from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Spokesman Dustin Vande Hoef said the emerald ash borer infestation discovered in Wisconsin - the closest its ever been to Iowa - appeared to be well-established. The best action Iowans can take to prevent an infestation - which most experts believe is only a matter of time - is to buy firewood locally and not bring it into the state from quarantined areas such as Michigan, where the emerald ash borer was first discovered in the United States and where the beetle has already decimated ash trees.
Here is the press release that came out today:
