<p>Friend, </p>
<p>There is good news and bad news. The good news is that the 2024
budget has $1M for street ash tree treatment. The bad news is that
Forestry is planning to treat only 5,000 of the 43,000 street ash this
treatment season.</p>
<p>Ash not treated this year will become untreatable or die by next
year.</p>
<p><strong> It is imperative that all of the budgeted $1M be used to
treat parkway ash trees this year. The ash trees treated in 2024 will
be the only ones left by 2025, the rest at that point being
untreatable or dead from EAB.</strong></p>
<p>Research has shown that once ash are infected with Emerald Ash
Borer (EAB) they have eight years until they are untreatable or dead.
Chicago is in year seven. </p>
