The Emerald Ash Borer, a native of Asia, has been found in surrounding states and infestations can occur when wood is transported across state lines. This pest infects Ash trees when eggs are laid on the ash trees in the summer and the larvae then hatch and feed under the bark. Adults emerge from trees the following spring and repeat this cycle. The preferred method of control is to remove all ash trees within a half mile radius of the infected tree. The Forestry Section of the Parks Division of the City of Madison desires to create a response plan, training for city staff and educate citizens of the City of Madison if the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is found within the City of Madison. The response readiness plan is described in the Wisconsin Urban Forestry grant application.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources through its Urban Forestry Grand Program will provide financial aid to begin the project and the Forestry Section of the Parks Division of the City of Madison shall include funding in its 2007 Capital Budget to complete the project.
