Add Clermont County to the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s (ODA) list of quarantined areas, due to the discovery of the pesky Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Clermont joins neighboring Hamilton and the majority of Ohio’s counties in being quarantined; the quarantine prohibits the movement of hardwood firewood and other ash tree material in an infected county to areas not quarantined. OSU Extension-Clermont Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator Cindy Burskey recently found the EAB specimen on Old SR 74 near SR 32 in Union Township. This video contains information about the EAB, how it damages trees, and how homeowners can protect their trees.
