Sorry for any inconvenience!
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has confirmed the presence of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Pope County. Based on the presence of Emerald Ash Borer, the MDA has issued an emergency quarantine for Pope County.
According to information from MDA, EAB insect larvae kills ash trees by tunneling under the bark and feeding on the part of the tree that moves nutrients up and down the tree trunk. Often the trees show several signs of infestation because of this. Woodpeckers feed on EAB larvae, woodpecker holes may indicate the presence of EAB. EAB tunneling can cause the bark to split open, revealing S-shaped galleries under the bark.
​
The City of Glenwood will be performing an Ash Tree Inventory located within the City road right-of-ways and City Parks. A group of individuals will be conducting the inventory starting September 30, 2024, only ash trees located on public property will be included in the survey. The survey will provide information that will assist the City in determining an ash tree removal plan, ash tree treatment plan, and a tree replacement plan all of which are necessary for the City to create a budget to deal with the EAB infestation within the City and to apply for grant assistance.
