Millions of ash trees have been sickened or killed by the invasive emerald ash borer, a scourge since it began a widespread sweep of Pennsylvania’s private and public forests in the 2010s.
Worse than the spotted lanternfly? A new disease is killing beech trees in Pa. and N.J.Arboretum officials decided last spring to see how much damage the pest had inflicted on the property in Middletown Township. Their initial estimate was way under.
The arboretum has created an “ecological working group” to come up with a plan. The first phase of the job, Skuja said, calls forto cut down about 584 trees that would lead to the reopening of 9.5 miles of trails. But the going is slow, he said, because of the location of the trees. Tyler officials say the removal of the ash trees will change the look of the forest and is expensive. The arboretum“We expect our first phase to cost over $500,000,” Skuja said.
“Tyler is not alone,” Mooney said. “We’re incredibly sympathetic to their plight. We have seen the problem at the Schuylkill Center for the past five years.”Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources first launched a plan in 2014 to tackle the problem. At the time, the beetle had already reduced the number of ashes in the state’s forest by 12%.
