It’s Official: EAB Is In South Milwaukee

That’s according to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, which has added South Milwaukee to its list of communities with confirmed cases of emerald ash borer.

Thankfully, we’re doing something about it, although I fear it’s too late. Our tree study is underway, and we’ll have a better idea of the potential scope of the problem — and potential short, medium and long-term solutions to debate — once it’s done.

For the record, here are all the communities added today to the list of confirmed cases …

  • Village of Sharon, Walworth County
  • CIty of Delavan, Walworth County
  • Town of Bradford, Rock County
  • Town of Farmington, Washington County
  • City of South Milwaukee, Milwaukee County

Apparently, the infected tree in question in South Milwaukee was removed from Oak Creek Parkway.
