Emerald ash borer is an invasive insect that targets and kills ash trees. All ash species native to North America are vulnerable to attack. With nearly 1 billion ash trees in Minnesota, the spread of emerald ash borer will have a serious impact on our forests and communities.
The emerald ash borer was found in Isanti County for the first time in November 2022. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) confirmed its presence in Stanford Township.
It's important to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer. Avoid moving firewood, especially from infested areas.
