Emerald ash borer, or #EAB, has been confirmed in Fargo, ND. This is the second positive identification of the invasive, ash-tree killing insect in the state, with the other being about 9 miles north of Edgeley. What does this mean for you?

🌳 At this time, high-value ash trees are only recommended to be treated if they fall within 15 miles of a confirmed infestation
🌳 This time of year is perfect for scoping your ash tree's canopy for signs of woodpecker damage, or "bark blonding"
🌳 Consider diversifying your tree canopy, whether that is in a city, windbreak, or native forest
🌳 Never move firewood, as this is the primary way EAB spreads. Always buy it where you burn it
