Seven months after the discovery of emerald ash borer (EAB) in southeastern Wisconsin, state officials have determined that the infestation that straddles the Ozaukee and Washington county line near the Village of Newburg is too large to completely remove from the area.  As a consequence, strategies for managing this invasive insect will focus on efforts to slow the spread of the beetle, help identify and develop market opportunities to capitalize on the timber resource, and to continue monitoring throughout the state for signs of new infestations.
