Scott County is now under quarantine
Minnesota Department of Agriculture confirms Emerald Ash Borer in Scott County. The Emerald Ash Borer is a half-inch sized green beetle that kills ash trees. It is often spread to new locations when people transport firewood or other ash wood products that carry the larvae.
When its presence is confirmed by the
Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), a county-wide quarantine is placed upon the transport of all ash wood products. Please read the
MDA News Release and related websites for more information on what the quarantine means for you.
