Minnesota officials are entering their fourth year of battling Emerald Ash Borer in a desperate attempt to save the state's nearly 1 billion ash trees.

Minnesota made it through most of the summer without a new infestation of the emerald ash borer. But that's ended now that the pest has turned up in trees at the Fort Snelling Golf Club.
