Starting in September, the City of Watertown Forestry Division will begin managing ash trees in Ward D, where Emerald Ash Borer was first confirmed. Boulevard and public ash trees that are declining, unsafe, or poorly located will be removed, with final decisions made by the Forestry Division. Healthy trees in select areas will be treated during the 2026 treatment window and monitored as part of the City’s management plan. For more EAB information or updates, visit: www.watertownsd.us/EAB.
