Why is it important? <br /> It is important that a citizen's body and Department of the City have a focus <br /> on the community forest for the benefit of current and future generations. <br /> Where can I find out more about it? (URL) <br /> EAB (Emerald Ash Borer) Program <br /> • What is it? <br /> The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native pest that feeds on and destroys ash <br /> trees. It first appeared in Roseville in 2013 and the infestation has spread to <br /> all zones of the city. Roseville has inventoried over 1800 ash trees on public <br /> lands (parks and boulevards). Current thinking is that all of these will <br /> eventually get EAB infestations and die. The City has a management plan to <br /> treat some of the healthier ash trees in significant locations, and to gradually <br /> remove and replace the others with a variety of trees. <br /> • Why is it important? <br /> Over the next few years, the City will lose a very significant portion of its <br /> public trees. It is important to have a reasonable, cost-effective method to <br /> treat, remove and replace these trees that comprise a large part of the City <br /> canopy. A wide variety of trees are being used to replace the ash trees so <br /> that no one tree variety will again comprise such a large proportion of our <br /> canopy. As the Roseville Tree Board, the Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> is involved in updating and providing input to the City Council on this issue. <br /> • Where can I find out more about it?

Families <br /> can explore the park, talk with Parks and Recreation staff, and meet Parks <br /> and Recreation Commissioners. <br /> • Why is it important? <br /> This program provides an opportunity for family fun as well as for residents to <br /> become familiar with many different parks within the city. Residents interact <br /> with Parks and Recreation staff and commissioners to provide feedback and <br /> input into the development of the parks and recreation programs. <br /> • Where can I find out more about it?
