🌳 What happens when one tiny beetle threatens thousands of trees?
The Emerald Ash Borer has already reached Oregon, and experts warn its impact on ash trees in the Willamette Valley could be devastating. What does this mean for our neighborhoods, parks, waterways, and urban forest? And what can we do now to prepare?
Join City Club of Eugene on June 26 for a timely conversation about tree health, invasive species, and the future of our local ecosystem.
Hear from certified arborists Erik Burke (Friends of Trees), Jeff Chandler (Chandler's Tree Service), and Alby Thoumsin (Sperry Tree Care) as they discuss the Emerald Ash Borer's arrival, what communities can expect in the coming years, and practical steps we can take to respond.
Trees shape our neighborhoods, support wildlife, cool our communities, and connect us to place. Don't miss this important discussion about protecting one of our region's most valuable resources.
