Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was discovered in Ozaukee County in 2008. This discovery could potentially have a great impact on the forests and street trees in southeastern Wisconsin. Although the Borer can fly up to one-half mile and spread on their own, people are more effective and more likely to spread EAB to new areas. The tree-killing emerald ash borer has been discovered so far in seven Wisconsin counties: Brown, Crawford, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Vernon and Washington. As of Sept. 14, 2009 state or federal EAB quarantines will exist in 11 counties including Brown, Crawford, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Vernon, Washington and Waukesha counties. Raising awareness, restricting the movement of firewood and materials that could potentially carry EAB into new locations and monitoring for evidence of the insect are some of the steps that the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has taken in coordination with the DNR, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the US Forest Service and the University of Wisconsin Extension.
