This bums me out, but it's likely only a matter of time until it spreads throughout the state.

PLEASE everyone, I know buying firewood is more expensive than bringing your own, but burn it where you buy it! I grumbled at some dear friends about this the last time we were camping.

Thankfully they've started playing some radio commericals as well. They really need to get the word out!

Update:

Be cautious before tree removal.

Sign In

By Bill Graham, MDC



KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A destructive insect that kills ash trees, the emerald ash borer (EAB), has been confirmed in the Kansas City area and has expanded its range in the southeast Missouri Ozarks. Homeowners and property managers should be cautious and informed as they seek to protect ash trees.



“Don’t be too hasty,” said Wendy Sangster, an urban forester in Kansas City with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). “Learn about the emerald ash borer and when it is appropriate to remove a tree and when it is not.”



Information about the pests is available online at eab.missouri.edu.
