If you have ash trees on your property, here's the most important thing to understand right now:
Acting NOW means you keep your cover. Waiting means you lose it all at once.
When EAB works through an ash tree, decline happens fast — trees can go from green to dead in two to four years. If you wait until that happens, you're suddenly removing dead trees with nothing established to replace them. Your windbreak disappears. Your privacy screen is gone. You're starting from zero in a North Dakota winter.
Here's what a phased approach looks like instead:
✅ Remove ash trees in stages, not all at once
✅ Plant replacement trees in phases — new trees grow while some existing cover remains
✅ Some replacement species can actually be planted among still-standing ash trees, giving new growth a head start before the ash is removed
✅ You maintain meaningful windbreak and privacy cover throughout the entire transition
