The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was just discovered on the north side of Madison. This is the first confirmed case of EAB in Dane County, resulting in a quarantine of wood products in the county. We highly recommend property owners contact the Urban Tree Alliance to decide how they will proceed with managing their trees. There are options to preserve high-value trees or remove less healthy trees. Don’t wait until your tree is dead to deal with EAB! Learn more on our EAB info Page.
