Wisconsin quarantines seven more EAB counties
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is adding seven new southwestern counties to the state’s emerald ash borer quarantine list. EAB has been found in Columbia, Monroe and Grant Counties. Because they are now surrounded by EAB-infested counties, Richland, Iowa, Lafayette and Green Counties will also be quarantined.

DATCP recommends that property owners who have ash trees in quarantine counties keep a close watch for possible signs of EAB infestation:
