Oklahoma Forestry Services is investigating reports of Emerald Ash Borers in Wagoner County. Our team is looking into the claims and awaiting official confirmation from the laboratory.

Emerald Ash Borers are invasive species that do not belong in our ecosystem and can cause significant damage. They’ve been previously seen in McCurtain, Choctaw, Pushmataha, Love, Carter, Murray and Delaware counties. Emerald Ash Borers can fly up to 10 miles per year and traditionally travel on firewood.

Do your part to protect Oklahoma’s ash trees & burn firewood where you buy it and don’t move it.

If you see Emerald Ash Borers, please notify [email protected] & include photos immediately.
