All tree care professionals working in Connecticut should be aware of the Quarantine Order for New Haven County that was issued August 9, 2012, along with the Emergency Regulations regarding firewood that were also put into effect today.

The Quarantine Order will affect anyone who does tree work in New Haven County - especially anyone who ends up moving wood or chips out of the County.  The Emergency Regulations affect anyone who moves firewood anywhere in Connecticut, or into Connecticut.

Both were issued by the CT Agricultural Experiment Station in response to the emerald ash borer.  Complete details regarding each can be found on the CAES web site ) or on the DEEP EAB site.  Read TCIA's news item on emerald ash borer in Connecticut from August 1, 2012.
