Program Purpose
A program to help communities in Iowa prepare for the Emerald Ash Borer beetle (EAB). With assistance from the US Forest Service, Trees Forever is coordinating an educational outreach program to assist communities along the I-380 and Highway 60 corridors plan for the arrival of EAB. This project is available to select communities along these two transportation corridors.
Trees Forever is currently recruiting 11 communities to participate in 2013, and an additional 11 communities that will participate in 2014. If your community is in one of the target communities (listed below) and you have interest in the program, please contact Trees Forever at 800-369-1269 for further information. In addition, please see the EAB information page or visit www.emeraldashborer.info for important educational resources that can help you prepare for EAB on your property or in your community.
