This is a multi-day project to plant over 90 new trees along SE 34th St. This stretch of road in SE Vancouver had 90 ash trees that needed constant pruning to avoid the overhead powerlines. Not only was the maintenance costly and time-consuming, but this long row of stressed-out ash trees became a prime target for emerald ash borer, which has been located in Washington and Clackamas Counties in Oregon and Vancouver, B.C. In a proactive effort to protect our city’s tree canopy, our program is replacing vulnerable ash trees with resilient and climate-adaptive trees. Let’s get to planting!
Learn more about the emerald ash borer beetle, the impact to ash trees, what the city is doing, and what you can do to help slow the spread at www.cityofvancouver.us/eab.
