Canopy dieback is a noticeable symptom of an EAB infestation.
The Emerald Ash Borer does not discriminate. Any homestead, piece of land, park or backyard can be affected. ROOTS is calling creative partners and collaborators to action by offering a “Community Investment Program” Grant.
An eligible project may include a broad range of management activities that mitigate the impact of the EAB on public lands in Sheboygan County and may have a singular focus or multiple components. Eligible activities include but are not limited to:
Developing resilient reforestation plans
Removing infested trees
Planting replacement trees
Engaging the community in outreach and education

The larvae (the immature stage) of the EAB feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients.
