Thanks to the cooperation of residents, local agricultural officials and federal partners, the Oriental fruit fly quarantine in Redlands and the surrounding areas has been lifted. The end of this quarantine signals the successful completion of a nearly year-long collaborative effort to eradicate four unique invasive fruit fly species from seven quarantine areas across California. However, the risk invasive species pose to our state’s environment, agriculture and economy remains. Residents can reduce this risk by not bringing fruits, vegetables, or other agricultural products across state lines.
