There’s still a high number of dead ash trees in SE MN. The DNR has grant money available ($1.7 million for 2026) to help manage EAB. Applications are open to cities, non-profits, SWCD, counties, regional authorities, etc. Please encourage elected officials or other eligible entities to apply: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/urban/protect-community-forests-2026.html. Let’s get these trees taken care of and replant for the next generation.
