Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald Ash Borer, Como Replanting Pilot & Discovery in Langford Park (updated 11/7/09)
On April 7, an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation was discovered just south of La Crosse Wisconsin and we were told to get ready for an EAB invasion of southeastern Minnesota. Then in June 2009, over 60 ash trees in St. Paul’s St. Anthony Park neighborhood (just 3 miles East of Como Park) were found to be dead or dying from an EAB infestation that had gone undetected for several years.
As a first step for self-education on this issue, visit the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s EAB website to find the latest EAB information and to access links to agencies that are partnering with St. Paul City Forestry Department:
