How does emerald ash borer impact you? Do you have an opinion on the quarantine rules or emergency orders? Does your business move ash wood or firewood? We want to hear from you- join us in April for an information gathering session as we prepare to change the quarantine rules. We meet again in May to give a municipal update and we hope to see you there.

The sessions will be hybrid, allowing for in-person and online participation. Meetings will be held in Augusta on April 12, Houlton on April 13, and Old Town on April 20.
