Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 4 Adopted by the City Council on July 30, 2012 b. The City strongly encourages residents to utilize tree contractors that are bonded, insured, and state licensed to apply commercial tree chemicals. • The City will publicize the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s regulations for handling ash wood removal. Ramsey County is currently under a quarantine which prohibits the transportation of wood outside of the County. From September 15th to May 1st EAB-infested trees can be removed and transported only within the quarantine area, so long as they are promptly chipped to the required dimensions, less than 1”x1”x1”. Non- infested EAB trees can be removed from September 15th to May 1st using the normal process of transporting un-chipped wood to the Ramsey County Yard Waste Site. • In an effort to encourage reforestation of private properties, the City will promote Ramsey County’s Friends of the Parks annual tree sale. • The City will track the spread of EAB in surrounding communities in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture. The following is a list of resources for residents to review to learn about Emerald Ash Borer symptoms, firewood requirements, and insecticide options. These will be listed on the City’s website and updated as needed. • Pest Alert-Emerald Ash Borer (PDF) • • Do I Have EAB?
