Emerald Ash Borer quarantines announced
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has issued an emergency rule to establish quarantines on materials that could transport emerald ash borer from Brown or Kenosha counties.
The quarantines go into effect Saturday. A federal quarantine for Brown and Kenosha counties is expected to be enacted soon.
The quarantine restricts the movement of products outside of the county borders that could transport any of the life stages of these ash-tree killing insects. All species of hardwood firewood, ash logs or timber and ash nursery stock may not be moved outside of the county without state or federal approval.
Certification for firewood movement is available to firewood dealers only.
The emerald ash borer has been discovered so far in six Wisconsin counties: Brown, Crawford, Kenosha, Ozaukee, Vernon and Washington. EAB quarantines currently exist in Crawford, Fond du Lac, Ozaukee, Sheboygan, Vernon and Washington counties.
