EAB Flight and Non-flight Periods
 While the official flight period of the emerald ash borer (EAB) ends on September 1, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) would like to remind tree care professionals and those working with ash trees that the potential exists for EAB emergence after this date. Steps should be taken to limit the movement of ash wood from known infested areas. Please visit MDA's Best Management Practices for guidance.
Transportation of any ash material in any form out of a quarantine is still prohibited after this date unless done so under a Compliance Agreement.
For more information on Compliance Agreements, please contact:

Emerald Ash Borer Education Day
 The MDA and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum are sponsoring an Emerald Ash Borer Education Day focusing on what we know and
how we can best approach the emerald ash borer infestation in our community.
At the workshop you'll learn the latest in research and be given the tools by which a home
owner can develop a rational and viable plan to protect the property and
environment.

 EAB Field Days, Fall 2010
The Field Days provide an
opportunity to get a first-hand look at EAB-infested trees, dissect wood from
infested trees in search of EAB larvae and see what a city with an EAB
infestation is doing to mitigate the impacts of EAB.
-Field days are 100% outdoors and they are
held rain or shine.
-Field days will be held the following last
four Thursdays in September (September 9th, 16th, 23rd,
and 30th)
-Each day will feature two sessions (if
registration reaches the minimum number). Please sign up for one session only.
