Developing a plan
Ash trees can be treated, removed or replaced, but they can’t be ignored. Nebraska Forest Service (NFS) inventories estimate that communities will need to commit more than $275 million to protect themselves from infested, publicly-owned ash trees.
Statewide Response Plan
The Nebraska Emerald Ash Borer Working Group was formed in 2006 to develop a response plan to reduce the likelihood of an EAB introduction and to find, contain, delimit, and minimize the impact of EAB if it is introduced into the state.
