MDA and MPRB Host spring Field Days 

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will host emerald ash borer (EAB) field days on April 19 and 20 at Tower Hill Park, Minneapolis.  

Field day participants will have the opportunity to peel EAB infested trees as well as learn how to visually identify EAB infested standing trees. Tower Hill Park is part of the Twin Cities emerald ash borer infestation and has EAB infested trees that will be removed this spring.  

Participants need not register, but can stop-by the park between the hours of 12pm and 4pm on April 19 or 8am and 12pm on April 20. There is no formal program, just an opportunity to get a first-hand look at the signs and symptoms of EAB. Staff from MDA will be present to answer questions.  

For questions prior to the event, please contact Arrest the Pest at 888-545-6684 or arrest.the.pest@state.mn.us.
