Thousand Cankers Disease Detected in Baltimore City and County
State to expand quarantine zone to City, parts of Baltimore County
ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Maryland Department of Agriculture today enacted a quarantine (MDA PDF file), effective immediately, that makes it illegal for anyone to move any walnut material and hardwood firewood out of a 185 square mile area that covers Baltimore City and parts of Baltimore County. This action is in response to the detection of thousand cankers disease in a Baltimore industrial area. An existing quarantine remains active in Cecil County, as well.
The area quarantined includes all of Baltimore City and the southeast corner of Baltimore County (map (MDF Map PDF)). Non-compliance with the quarantine order could result in criminal or civil penalties.
