Service Request number W056128-072713 has been closed/completed, the Forestry Department advises that the ash tree on the parkway is showing initial signs of emerald ash borer. We check for woodpecker activity in the upper crown of the tree. You will notice light tan marks where the bark is being pecked off as the birds look for EAB larvae. This tree is still treatable if you are interested in pursuing this. Thank you

We are doing a pretty extensive landscape refresh and would just assume take the trees out now to make sure we don't mess things up later. What is the process we need to follow?

We were told treatment was an option but since we
Are already working on the landscape we would rather replace the diseased tree now.
How do we get that scheduled?
And who plants the new tree?

Thank you for the information. This has been forwarded to the 311Center and Service Request number W060793-092613 has been entered in the 311/GovQA system.

Service Request number W060793-092613 has been closed/completed. The Forestry Department advises that they can tag the tree for removal. they are currently two years out on replacement trees. The City of Evanston would remove the tree and have it replaced. If you would like the tree replaced this Spring you can participate in our express tree replacement program. You would be responsible to pay $250 for a 2.5" caliper tree, or $425 for a 3.5" caliper tree which we would install.Please let us know if you would like more info. Thank you
