Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 4 <br />Adopted by the City Council on Month day, 2022 <br /> <br />strongly discourages the use of soil drench insecticides due to potential to pollute water <br />and negatively impact wildlife. The City strongly encourages residents to utilize a <br />certified arborist to treat trees. <br /> <br />o The City will permit residents to use chemical treatments on private ash trees, <br />given the following: <br /> <br />a. Private contractors are to use only the approved trunk injection method. <br /> <br />b. The City strongly encourages residents to utilize tree contractors that are <br />bonded, insured, and state licensed to apply commercial tree chemicals. <br /> <br />x The City will publicize the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s regulations for <br />handling ash wood removal. https://www.mda.state.mn.us/eab <br /> <br />x In an effort to encourage reforestation of private properties, the City will promote <br />Ramsey County’s Friends of the Parks annual tree sale and will pursue other EAB <br />programs that are available. <br /> <br />x The City will track the spread of EAB in surrounding communities in conjunction with <br />the Department of Agriculture. <br /> <br />The following is a list of resources for residents to review to learn about Emerald Ash Borer <br />symptoms, firewood requirements, and insecticide options.
