City Begins Treatment and Removal of Thousands of Trees Infected or Threatened by Emerald Ash Borer
The shiny green Emerald Ash Borer is responsible for destroying hundreds of thousands of Ash trees and recently has been discovered in the City of St. Louis. The City’s Forestry Division has been preparing for the eventual onslaught of these destructive pests, which have been moving across the country from east to west over more than a decade.
In the coming weeks, residents may begin to notice bright yellow tags on Ash trees that must be removed (see attached photo). Residents can see where Ash trees are located by visiting the website Show MO Trees.
