(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council appointed Council member Charlie Bentley to identify the location and number of Ash Trees located on city owned property.
City Administrator Gary Jorn told the Council, the City Tree Board had requested this be done as they are putting a plan together how to address the Emerald Ash Borer issue in the city limits.
Jorn said that a 2011 study by the State Forestry Department found 206 Ash trees on city property. It was not clear how many were street trees and how many were located in parks. The 2011 study estimated it would cost over $200-thousand to replace the Ash trees.
Bentley said it is important to know if they were green ash or white ash trees since only one species if affected by the Emerald Ash Borer.
