Cedar Rapids removes ash trees ahead of emerald ash borer threat
Cedar Rapids city crews have cut nearly 150 ash trees this winter to curb the risk from the emerald ash borer. Public Works Manager Craig Hanson says about 30 percent of the city's trees are ash, totaling around 15 000, with plans to replant a mix of species. Trees Forever notes neighborhoods with high ash density and warns that many trees could die if the pest arrives in Iowa.
