Summary

In April 2018, the Beaver Island Association reported that Michigan planned to end Emerald Ash Borer quarantines and described continued island monitoring and discussion of local controls on incoming hardwood. The notice emphasized ash as an important cultural and natural resource.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves a local organization’s account of an agency conversation and proposed responses. It does not preserve the final state policy, a local ordinance, trap data, or proof that any proposed restriction was adopted.

The Beaver Island Association reported a call with a Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development contact about the State’s planned discontinuation of EAB quarantines, continued local trapping, and possible local restrictions on hardwood transport. This is an organizer’s account of an agency communication and proposed local responses; it does not establish the final policy text, ordinance, or trap results.
