This is a meeting of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Operations and Communication team.

Agenda:

• EAB toolbox, updates and revisions planned by DNR Urban Forestry in 2023.
• Potential coordinated outreach on updated EAB toolbox by DNR Urban Forestry, UW Extension, and Tribes?
• Any plans to change firewood regulations at State Parks and Forests?  Tribal land?
• Confirm maintaining the tracking of EAB confirmations at the Township level after confirmation of all counties is completed.  To whom at DATCP do we direct confirmations made by DNR and UW Extension staff?
• Should we recast this Op/Comm group to focus on all “developing” invasive forest pests and not just EAB? Possibly including Asian Longhorned Beetle, Spotted Lanternfly, Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, Elongated Hemlock Scale, others as they get near or start moving into WI?
• Designate a new coordinator for these meetings.
