Emerald ash borer has shown up in traps in Yamhill and Marion counties. This invasive pest has been killing ash trees in Washington County since it was first detected there in 2022. Ash trees along Butte Creek on the border of Marion and Clackamas counties east of Woodburn show dying upper branches and D-shaped exit holes caused by this destructive insect. ODF and Oregon Dept. of Agriculture staff are surveying the surrounding area to find out how far the infestations extend. A quarantine on woody material has been placed around Marion and Yamhill counties. You can help by not moving firewood out of those counties.

A little bit of our view this morning!
