As you may have heard, Anoka county has been dubbed the "oak <br />wilt capitol of the world." Thousands of oaks are dying annually in the county from this <br />disease.

The Minne- <br />sota Department of Agriculture has been working cooperatively with the University of <br />Minnesota County Extension Service and Plant Pathology Department to provide informa- <br />tion, education, and technical assistance to communities on effective oak wilt control. <br /> <br />The items we will be discussing are: <br /> <br />1. Brief overview of oak wilt and its control <br /> <br />Where to begin: A community oak wilt control program <br />- Ordinances <br />- Tree Inspector <br />- Tree Board <br /> <br />3. Available assistance <br /> <br />Thank you again for the opportunity. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dave Stephenson,~Plant Health Specialist <br />Minnesota Department of Agriculture <br />(612) 296-0592 <br /> <br />(612) 755'1280 <br /> <br />DS:lin <br /> <br />L ~ <br /> <br />ENJOY THE HIGH QUALITY AND INFINITE VARIETY OF MINNESOTA FOODS <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
