Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an ash-tree killing insect from Asia, was identified in Ohio in 2003. Since then, the Ohio Department of Agriculture has been battling the pest through detection and regulation to protect the state’s more than 3.8 billion ash trees.
The department has quarantined parts of Ohio to help stop the movement of EAB through ash tree material, which could harbor the destructive pest and possibly carry it to other parts of the state. It is illegal to take ash trees, parts of ash trees, and all hardwood firewood out of Ohio’s quarantined areas. For a map of the latest quarantined area, or for more information on compliance and detection go to www.ohioagriculture.gov/eab or call 1-888-OHIO-EAB.
