Replacing over 400 ash trees decimated by the Emerald Ash Borer. City Foresters selected terrace trees based on growth size, types of trees, and location to avoid powerlines, and water works. Collaborated with the city, school district, and Community Foundation to make this happen on a yearly basis.
