## Resource

Emerald ash borer spotted again in North Dakota—this time north of Mapleton in Cass County—adding to growing alarm as this invasive Asian beetle continues its destructive march across 37 U.S. states, having already killed hundreds of millions of ash trees. First detected in LaMoure County last August and later found in Fargo, the pest’s rapid spread underscores the urgent need for vigilance. State forestry officials are ramping up monitoring and response efforts, warning residents to watch for signs of damage in ash trees, especially in wooded areas.
