\"\"\u200bThe Terre Haute area in Indiana is in a tree crisis.\u00a0With Emerald Ash Borer and other deciding factors,\u00a0300+ trees a year will be removed. Over the next few years, this averages to approximately 24\u00a0percent\u00a0of the total trees will be gone. Planning for the future with the\u00a0knowledge of\u00a0this loss is crucial. While the city will pay for removing the trees and tree-related projects, it is not in the city’s budget to replace the trees at this time. The city needs to apply for grants to fund replanting projects.\u00a0The trees are removed due to diseases, age and when\u00a0people run into them with cars. If you want to learn more about the tree crisis and the action that will be taken,\u00a0you are welcome to attend the Emerald Ash Borer summit.<\/p>\n
