Ash Removal in Neighborhood to Start Soon

Early February will see city crews out removing ash trees on Wilson Avenue and 3rd Street. There will be 46 trees removed on Wilson between Kennard and White Bear, and there will be 44 trees removed on 3rd between Germain and Flandrau.

Stumps will be ground out and later in the spring, the city will plant replacement trees.

This is a sad thing to see, but the city needs to be proactive to slow down the spread of the emerald ash borer. This is also just the first wave of removals...
