2. What is the City doing to address the emerald ash borer?

The emerald ash borer was discovered in Wheaton in 2010, but the City has had an ash tree reduction program in place since 2008. The program is targeting trees that were classified to be in fair or poor condition because sick trees succumb to the emerald ash borer more quickly than healthy trees.
