The
Green Beetle (Emerald Ash Borer) Found
in Green Bay (Jul
28, 2009) Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
An
adult
Emerald Ash
Borer was found about a mile south
of the bay in Brown County. This is the
fifth Wisconsin county to have confirmed
the presence of EAB since the state's first
detection in Aug 2008, in southeast
Wisconsin. Federal regulators are considering
a quarantine of Brown County and possibly
other counties in the area in an effort
to help slow the spread of EAB throughout
northeastern Wisconsin. Wisconsin's
Emerald Ash Borer Information Source provides
assistance in detecting and reporting the
EAB.
