City officials in Dubuque are taking action against the emerald ash borer. The city's Park Division is urging residents to treat their ash trees now before they become infected.
City Forester, Steve Pregler, says the EAB has probably been in the area for at least four years, but Dubuque officials didn't notice any symptoms until this spring. Most of the beetles have been found in the south end of the city, after traveling along the Mississippi River.
