This federal grant worth $100,000 will allow for communities in the Great Lakes area to take on tree-planting projects. Due to the loss of trees in the infested areas, planting trees will help replace the large amounts of trees lost by the emerald ash borer. The tree planting project will also improve water quality. Flooding due to storms can cause raw sewage to enter waterways, but trees can intercept the water to stop the flooding. A three inch tree is able to intercept around 400 gallons of water; 800 trees can intercept 320,000 gallons of water which can greatly decrease the chances of flooding. Communities that would like to apply for a share in the grant can first subscribe to the grants information listserv by visiting the <a title=\"Indiana's DNR forestry site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.in.gov\/dnr\/forestry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indiana DNR&#8217;s forestry site<\/a>\u00a0and click on the red envelope on the left side of the page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"DNR receives grant to help communities recover from ash borer\" href=\"https:\/\/events.in.gov\/event\/dnr_dnr_receives_grant_to_help_communities_recover_from_ash_borer_6423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DNR Receives Grant to Help Communities Recover From Ash Borer<\/a>, Indiana DNR<br \/>\n<a title=\"Emerald Ash Borer\" href=\"http:\/\/extension.entm.purdue.edu\/EAB\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emerald Ash Borer<\/a>, Purdue Extension<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.in.gov\/dnr\/entomolo\/3443.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emerald Ash Borer<\/a>, Indiana DNR<br \/>\n<a title=\"Invasive Insect post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/fnr\/extension\/invasive-pest-species-managing-emerald-ash-borer-in-the-urban-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invasive Insects<\/a>, Got Nature?<br \/>\n<a title=\"Arrest That Pest! - Emerald Ash Borer in Indiana \" href=\"https:\/\/extension.entm.purdue.edu\/arrestthatpest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrest That Pest! &#8211; Emerald Ash Borer in Indiana<\/a>, Purdue Extension<\/p>\n<p>Carrie Tauscher, Urban Forestry Specialist<br \/>\n<a title=\"Indiana Department of Natural Resources\" href=\"http:\/\/www.in.gov\/dnr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indiana Department of Natural Resources (INDNR)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communities that have been infested by emerald ash borers can apply for a share of a federal grant received by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
