The Minnesota Department of Agriculture received a $150,000 project grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service to support suppression of emerald ash borer in infested communities in Minnesota. Funded under the Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680), the award will support efforts to protect and manage non-federal forest resources in Minnesota from November 2022 through June 2027. Specifically, the funding will aid in controlling and managing the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer, a destructive wood-boring beetle that has caused widespread ash tree mortality in North America. By combating this damaging forest insect, the project aims to safeguard Minnesota's tree resources from further impacts.
