Emerald Ash Borer Program Report & Video

USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) works with State, Federal, and other partners to detect and manage known emerald ash borer (EAB) infestations. The EAB program uses biological control and ongoing research to minimize the impact from an infestation and maintain ash as a viable part of the American landscape. This report provides the most current information on EAB program efforts.
Announcements
Proposed Rule
In September 2018, APHIS published a proposal to remove the domestic quarantine regulations for emerald ash borer requesting comments from the public on the proposal. When the final rule is ready, it will be published in the Federal Register.
Debarking Ash

OTHER STATES:
Eradication efforts eliminated infestations and removed regulations in Illinois (2008) and New Jersey (2013).
UPCOMING EVENTS:
The program has no public meetings planned at this time.
REMINDERS:
The mission of the eradication program is to help save trees and to eliminate the beetle from infested areas. Residents in Asian longhorned beetle regulated areas cannot move firewood or wood debris outside of the regulated area. Residents are also discouraged from moving firewood and wood debris inside the regulated area. In the event of inclement weather, surveys and infested tree removals may be delayed or cancelled.
If you think you’ve found an Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) or signs of infestation, always record the area where the specimen was found. If possible, capture the insect you think is an Asian longhorned beetle, place it in a jar and freeze it — this will preserve the insect for easy identification. Take digital pictures of the insect and damage to your trees in case officials request them, and Report It.

US Census 2020 Deadline Nears
Help shape the future of our community by completing the Census 2020. Every 10 years, the US government sends out a census to see exactly where the populations are in the country. This matters to you because the population numbers determine how the tax dollars are distributed.
If you want your tax dollars to go to:
- the fire department that serves you and your house,
- the school district that your children or neighbors children go to,
- the senior services provided to you or your neighborhood seniors,
- the local library in your community,
- the township you live in for roads, parks, and cemetery upkeep.
- the Headstart programs and special education grants in your school district
Your response to the Census 2020 determines all this and more for the next 10 years. It is so important that you say, “I’m here!” by letting the government know you are a part of this community.
All offices are scheduled to complete their work by September 30, 2020.
It’s not too late until 9/30/2020.
Please visit US Census 2020 to get more facts and find out how to respond. It will take 15 minutes of your time and make 10 years of difference.
