More Ash Trees Coming Down
|
Saint Paul has begun removing 159 ash trees from boulevards in District 10, plus 175 more trees from the golf course in Como Park. Trees will be removed from:
- Almond west of Pascal
- Arona between Wynne and Midway Parkway
- Breda between Hamline and Arona
- Chatsworth between Nebraska and Hoyt
- Grotto between Arlington and Larpenteur
- Montana west of Grotto
- Nebraska between Victoria and Oxford
- Pascal between Midway Parkway and Nebraska
In 2017, Saint Paul expects to spend nearly $1.7 million to remove more 1,300 boulevard ashes across the city, plus at least 300 additional ash trees in parks. Infestation by the invasive emerald ash borer is accelerating, the forestry department says. It estimates that 97 percent of the city now has infested trees. In 2016, four times as many boulevard trees became infested than in 2015. The stepped-up removal plan is designed to remove ash before decaying trees become a physical hazard.
