The Vermont Forest Pest Planning Case Studies were developed in 2013 to share the process that nine Vermont communities undertook to inventory their town’s ash trees and develop an Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan. These towns varied widely in population, size, and resources, which makes each town’s experience and lessons learned unique.
Quick Facts
- All 9 towns accessed a $500 incentive provided by VT UCF (2013).
- None of the towns have paid staff that care for their urban forests and roadside trees.
- The planning and inventory efforts were spearheaded by dedicated volunteers and community members.
