The emerald ash borer, a serious threat to ash trees, was discovered in the county last summer, including in the Kingstowne and Herndon areas. Ash trees are often used for residential and commercial landscaping, and these emerald ash borers have killed more than 25 million ash trees in the U.S. To prevent the spread of these insects, residents should not take any firewood, live or dead ash trees or ash lumber outside the county or nearby areas. State and federal quarantines restrict the transport of all these items.
