Where is EAB now?
As of August, 2008, EAB had been found in Ozaukee and Washington Counties in Wisconsin, in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada. Small infestations have also been eradicated from Virginia. A federal quarantine is in place for all hardwood firewood, ash logs and trimmings and ash nursery stock in states and counties known to be infested with EAB. Anyone moving firewood or ash products from these states or counties is subject to state and federal fines up to $1,000.00. Note: the Wisconsin quarantines include four counties: Ozaukee, Washington, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan.
