Emerald Ash Borer Detected in Florence County

In partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has detected emerald ash borer (EAB) for the first time in Florence County (Town of Fence).

To date, Wisconsin has found EAB in 57 of the state's 72 counties. In 2020, there have also been 43 municipal detections in counties where EAB was previously detected. All of Wisconsin is part of the EAB federal quarantine area so there are no regulatory changes as a result of this detection.

Note: DATCP will send notifications only when EAB is found for the first time in a county.
