Emerald Ash borer and Gypsy moths

Dave Wagner received this email recently

Dear Mr. Wagner, 

My name is John Gosa and I work for the Emerald Ash Borer Program in Iowa.  Last weekend I was out visiting campgrounds and spreading the word about Emerald Ash Borer(EAB) and Gypsy Moth(GM) up in Clayton County.  I was also checking for firewood they may have come from EAB or GM quarantine areas.  I decided to drive around Esmann Island and I noticed that there were quite a few out of state visitors.  Do you think that the residents are aware of the EAB and GM quarantines in the area?  I would like to offer my assistance if you have any concerns.  I am attaching a couple of maps showing the quarantine areas for both EAB and GM.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you might have.

Thank you for your time,

John Gosa
