St. Cloud will remove ash trees to fight emerald ash borer infestation and prevent safety hazards.

The city of St. Cloud plans to remove ash trees across the city due to the threat posed by the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that kills ash trees. The removal effort is part of a broader strategy to prevent widespread tree loss and reduce safety risks from falling trees. The city will prioritize high-risk areas and may replace removed trees with other species. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official updates.
