Forestry Services is responsible for the care and maintenance of around 21,000 trees. This includes pruning, removal and potential treatment for the destructive pest Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).
Forestry assesses each tree on a set schedule for any pruning or removal needs. Ash trees that are eligible for EAB treatment are assessed in the year prior to their scheduled treatment.
More than 900 ash trees have been treated for EAB, beginning in 2016. These trees continue to be monitored and will receive additional treatment as needed.
