Description

An emerald ash borer was found this summer in Southeast Portland, placing all of Multnomah County into a quarantine. The destructive pest, which has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees throughout the U.S., was first discovered in Oregon in 2022.

A tiny beetle known for decimating ash trees throughout North America and Europe has been discovered for the first time in Portland and has spread to new sites in several other counties where the invasive pest has already been detected, city and state forestry officials said Wednesday.
