EMERALD ASH BORER UPDATE
In response to Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestations first identified in Winfield last year, the Village conducted its first ever tree inventory over the winter, surveying every public parkway tree to determine species and condition. In March the Village Board approved an EAB management plan developed by our tree consultant and reviewed by the Environmental Concerns Commission. Key aspects of the plan include removal this year of just under 100 parkway trees in the worst condition, the majority of which are ash. Removals of ash trees in moderate and deteriorating condition will continue in phases over the next several years to spread out the cost and impact of tree loss yet avoid leaving dead ash trees standing on public property. The Village has budgeted funds to continue its 50-50 cost sharing program available to property owners interested in planting replacement trees in the parkway. Replacement choices come from a list of native species designed to further diversify the Village’s tree stock, which protects against large losses from future threats. A copy of the January 17th draft EAB Management Plan, the 50/50 Tree Replacement Program brochure, and the list of 2012-13 scheduled tree removals can be accessed below:
