Goals a) To prepare the City for the potential impacts of an EAB infestation b) To preserve as many healthy, well-located City-maintained ash trees as possible c) To inform, educate, and assist private tree owners
Monitor ash populations for EAB a) Inventory City-owned ash populations, assigning a preservation priority number. Preservation priority will be based on the location, condition, and size of tree. Summer 2014 1) Location - High priority will be given to trees located at City facilities, street medians, tree pits, and memorial trees. Park and street rights-of-way locations receive a second priority. Trees on non-irrigated sites and poor site locations are not candidates for preservation. 2) Condition – High priority will be given to trees in good condition and second priority to trees in fair condition. Trees in poor condition are not candidates for preservation. 3) Size – High priority will be given to trees greater than 6” and less than 24” diameter. Trees from 4-6” and over 24” diameter receive second priority. Trees in the 2-3” diameter class are candidates for removal and replacement. b) Use current methods of detection 1) Pheromone (large purple) Traps from USDA APHIS Summer 2014 2) Trap trees; place informational signage and publicize Summer 2014 3) Branch sampling when pruning/removing City-owned ash trees On-going 4) Conduct branch sampling delimitation studies with CO Dept. of Ag Fall/Winter 2014 5) Inspect private trees as requested by owner On-going
