Project Description
Removal, restoration and replanting of trees impacted by the Emerald Ash Borer. The Emerald Ash Borer is an invading beetle that has killed millions of Ash trees in southern Ontario and the Great Lakes States. It attacks both healthy and stressed Ash trees when its larvae tunnel through the tree’s vascular system which delivers water and nutrients through the tree. Once infected the mortality of Ash trees is nearly 100%, and the tree will die within 1 to 4 years of infestation. Infected trees on City boulevards could become dangerous and must be removed for public safety. It will take several years for the City’s Forestry Crew to remove all the impacted trees city-wide.
