Roseville has inventoried over 1800 ash trees on public <br />344 <br />lands (parks and boulevards).Current thinking is that all of these will <br />345 <br />eventually get EAB infestations and die.The City has a management plan to <br />346 <br />treat some of the healthier ash trees in significant locations, and to gradually <br />347 <br />remove and replace the others with a variety of trees. <br />348 <br />Why is it important? <br />349 <br />Over the next few years, the City will lose a very significant portion of its <br />350 <br />public trees.It is important to have a reasonable, cost-effective method to <br />351 <br />treat, remove and replace these trees that comprise a large part of the City <br />352 <br />canopy.A wide variety of trees are being used to replace the ash trees so <br />353 <br />that no one tree variety will again comprise such a large proportion of our <br />354 <br />canopy.As the Roseville Tree Board, the Parks and Recreation Commission <br />355 <br />is involved in updating and providing input to the City Council on this issue. <br />356 <br />Where can I find out more about it?
