Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald Ash Borer
The City of Menasha has received an Urban Forestry Grant from the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Forestry Program as authorized under s. 23.097, Wis. Stat.
This project will include the development of an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) management plan which will include the following:
-
Updated tree inventory – assessing the public Ash trees – number, size, and condition
-
Determine the EAB authority and update the City's Forestry ordinances
-
Create an Ash management action plan
- Prepare public awareness/educational opportunities for residents of the City of Menasha and the local community. This would include information on the history of EAB, what are the signs of infection, what steps should be taken for prevention, and removal/disposal of dead trees
As part of the EAB Management Plan, ash trees were removed from Districts 5-8 and in Jefferson Park in Fall 2020 / Winter 2021.
