What is being done in the Town of Erie to manage EAB?

The Town’s goal is to preserve the healthiest, largest, and most significant ash trees on Town maintained property. Mature ash trees provide the greatest economic, social, and ecological benefits.. The EAB management strategy for the Town of Erie will employ a proactive, integrated strategy that utilizes the following management tools:

  1. Inventorying Public Trees
  2. Selective Pesticide Treatment
  3. Selective Ash Tree Removal
  4. Ash Tree Replacement with Non-Ash Species
  5. Communications and Public Awareness

EAB is presumed present in low or undetectable levels throughout Erie. We strongly encourage the public to act now, not to wait until ash trees are dying in their neighborhood. If you'd like to preserve your Ash tree, treat it this year! If you choose not to preserve your Ash tree, budget for removal in the next few years.
