Trees impact everything around us. The loss of our ash trees will damage air and water quality, animal habitat, urban temperatures, and home values, and it will take decades for new trees to provide similar benefits as the large trees they will be replacing.
What is ahead is daunting, but there are many things we can all do to help mitigate the loss of our trees! You can help keep Minnesota green by:
- Treating any ash trees that you own
- Planting trees on your personal property
- Volunteering with us to plant trees in public spaces
- Supporting policies that increase funding for the state and local governments to manage the EAB crisis
- Supporting organizations like Tree Trust that are making an impact.
