ASH TREE PROTECTION
Assess the condition of the ash tree before taking action
Emerald ash borer is an insect that can progressively weaken ash trees and cause significant damage. An assessment helps evaluate the tree’s overall condition and identify signs that may indicate its presence.
Depending on the ash tree’s condition, location and the extent of the damage, different options may be considered to determine the best way to protect the tree or plan the next steps.
An assessment may be useful when :

Assess
We evaluate the extent of the damage and determine whether treatment may still be appropriate based on the tree’s overall condition.

When appropriate, we recommend a course of action to help protect the ash tree or plan any necessary next steps.
