Emerald Ash Borer Impacts on Community <br /> Emerald Ash Borer(EAB)is starting to decimate ash trees,not only in Ramsey but <br /> a r <br /> throughout the metro area.You have likely noticed several boulevard trees that were <br /> recently removed,especially along Sunwood Drive and Alpine Drive.These trees were allI� + �� <br /> infested with EAB and the Cityis trying to do its art to slow the spread of this destructive, { L <br /> � Y g P P 41 : � <br /> invasive insect. � <br /> City staff are attempting to get in the field as often as possible to identify infested ash <br /> trees on the right-of-way public road.The trees are marked with pink marking tape and an <br /> orange`X'when found.This let our Public Works crews know precisely which tree(s) at '' �, t <br /> a specific location need to be removed.A crew will return to these sites later this spring or I <br /> summer to grind out the stumps. <br /> We are attempting to remove as many EAB-infested ash trees prior to May 1,which ' <br /> is considered the start of the adult insects'active period.Once the adult insects become <br /> active,transporting EAB-infested wood can actually move the insects into new <br /> neighborhoods,quickening the spread of EAB. } �� <br /> g q g P <br /> It is definitely sad to see these trees removed.However,as budgets permit,the City <br /> intends to replant street trees in suitable locations.Unfortunately,there are some areas <br /> where ash trees have been removed that will not be replanted due to unsuitable soil volume, ; <br /> street lights,proximity to intersections,etc. § .' <br /> If you have questions about EAB,please visit the City's website at www.cityoframsey. <br /> com/282.You may also reach out to Senior Planner Chris Anderson at 763-433-9817 or <br /> cnderson@cityoframsey.com. <br /> JOIN O SIR <br /> Players Club Program and receive a <br /> Discounted Green Fee every time! <br /> Visit our website for <br /> details and to purchase. <br /> z , <br /> 1 <br /> 9333 Alpine Drive NW, Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> (Just off Hwy 10 between Anoka and Elk River) <br /> —mox waxm_ _0— www.facebook.com/linksatnorthfork <br /> Golf Course& Banquet Center www.GoliTheLinks.com • 763-241-0506 <br /> Ramsey • - - 2024 <br />
