Parks & Forestry22 De Pere Parks & Forestry | 920-339-4065 | www.deperewi.govFor any questions, concerns, or comments on these or any other forestry related topics, please contact the City Forester at 920-339-8362.Emerald Ash BorerIn July 2016 we identi ed our  rst case of Emerald Ash Borer on the NE side of De Pere. Since then, EAB has spread signi cantly on both the E & W sides of our city. Thus far we have removed hundreds of trees with obvious signs of the insect and continue to  nd additional heavily infested trees on a weekly basis. Our strategy will now be to move through selected sections of the City removing all ash located in the City right of ways (unless a homeowner can show proof of legitimate treatment). We will be contracting with a private company to assist with the tree removals, and we will be dedicating our crew to remove all infested and dying ash. Residents will either be noti ed by a doorhanger or a letter of the impending removals in front of their home. Now that EAB has become entrenched in our area, what does this mean for you? It means that if you want any real chance of saving your ash trees, you will need to begin treatment of them sooner than later (in most cases it is likely too late already). There are numerous options available to you – you can treat it yourself with various products (if your tree is less than about 47 inches in circumference [i.e., 15 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH)]) or you can have a professional treat your trees (for trees typically over that size). Currently with such a heavy infestation in the area, having a professional treat your trees is likely the best option. If you do ultimately choose to do nothing, unfortunately the ash in your yard is likely to succumb to EAB. The choice of how many resources and time you wish to spend on your ash, however, is yours. For many years I have also been recommending to residents that they start to replant other trees in their yard before the insect kills their ash trees. Fill in areas of ash with other, diversi ed species of trees so that if you choose to not treat the trees you have, these newly planted trees will likely get a good foothold and be ready to push better growth once the ash are removed. **It should be noted that as an ash tree dies from EAB, it becomes more brittle and prone to breakage than an ash that dies from more normal conditions. Therefore, we recommend removing your ash as soon as it becomes obvious it is infested and dying from the insect and your treatment options have been exhausted.EAB is a small, brilliant green beetle about the same size as our native Bronze Birch Borer (which attacks and kills white birch). These adults lay eggs on the bark of ash trees. Upon hatching, the tiny larvae bore under the bark and begin feeding in the cambial (the transport system) layer of the tree. These larvae feed in winding serpentine patterns under the bark, essentially girdling the trees as they go. Upon maturing, the adult exits the bark forming a distinctive “D” shaped exit hole. Signs to look for include bark cracking, crown dieback, heavy woodpecker activity and sprouts on the trunk of the tree. It usually takes 2 – 5 years for the tree to fully show damage from EAB. You can learn more about EAB at one of the many websites devoted to this devastating insect. Wisconsin’s website is a very good reference for all - http://emeraldashborer.wi.gov/; another good one is - www.emeraldashborer.info. If you have any questions or concerns about your city ash trees or other trees in your yard, please contact the City Forester at 920-339-8362.Compost Facility HoursThe compost facility is open seven days a week from dawn to dusk. There are designated bins for permitted items at the site. No plastic bags are allowed to be left with your material. The facility is a service provided for City of De Pere and Town of Ledgeview residents only. Directions to Compost SiteTake Broadway (Hwy. PP) south; go under the overpass and past Chicago Street Pub and Grill/Island Sushi on Hwy. PP. Continue south on Hwy. PP, past Valley Cabinets. Turn right onto Rockland Rd. just south of De Pere Veterinary Service. Go past Mommaerts Auto Salvage; compost site is on the same side of the road as Mommaerts. Dutch Elm Disease/Oak WiltDutch Elm Disease and Oak Wilt continue to be killers of our American Elm and many varieties of Oak. DED never went away, and Oak Wilt is only a short distance away from De Pere. As a landowner, you can help prevent or slow down the spread of these diseases by not pruning either species from April 1st to September 1st. If your tree is dying or dies from one of these diseases, the City of De Pere has an ordinance that declares them a nuisance and requires them to be removed in a timely fashion or an abatement procedure could be started. Please help us control these fatal diseases with timing and sanitation.Spongy Moth (formerly ‘Gypsy Moth’)Spongy Moths can be a destructive pest of many of our trees and shrubs in De Pere. Oak trees, unfortunately, are a favorite of the Spongy Moth and therefore many of our control efforts continue to focus on areas of high populations of these magni cent trees. The City of De Pere Forestry Department continues to monitor and help control Spongy moths in De Pere. Egg mass oiling, aerial spraying, placing burlap ‘skirts’ on trees, and insect destruction on City owned trees are just some of the ways we have done so. You can also help to monitor and control them by checking your own trees, shrubs, woodpiles, and outdoor furniture for the presence of eggs, caterpillars, and/or pupae. When they are found, please destroy them by cutting, crushing, scraping, oiling, or treating them. To learn how to control each stage of the insect please consult your Forester, a tree care professional or one of the many websites (especially www.spongymoth.wi.gov) dedicated to Spongy Moth. Goose Patrol ProgramThe City has a program that allows residents to help control geese in speci c parks. This program allows you to take your dog into one of these parks to harass the geese. The participant will need a free permit and a vest for their dog to participate. Please contact the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department at 920-339-4065 for further details.Arboricultural Specifi cations ManualOur arboricultural speci cations manual helps the City of De Pere to manage and maintain all trees located upon City grounds. It can also serve as a guide to homeowners and professionals alike. For a copy of this manual, you can either access it in the Forestry section of the City of De Pere website or you can contact the City Forester.

Parks & ForestryDe Pere Parks & Forestry | 920-339-4065 | www.deperewi.gov 23Memorial Bench and Tree ProgramThe City of De Pere has a program that lets you honor a special person or persons through a bench and/or the living gift of a tree. You can request to “donate” a bench, a tree or trees that would be installed or planted in the park of your choice as a memorial. For more details of this program, please call the Park Superintendent at 920-339-8362.Dog ParkOur Dog Park, located in the West Side Industrial Park at 1400 Biotech Way, has been very popular since its opening in August of 2011. Since its inception we have added water for humans and pets, new trails, benches, black top parking lot, a concrete walk into the large dog area, exercise structures and other small upgrades to enhance the experience. We also built a new open-air shelter for users to enjoy! We welcome you to stop out and enjoy our beautiful fenced in facility.We have been very fortunate in the past to have the support of our volunteer group, the De Pere Dog Park Association, and numerous Eagle Scouts. These scout projects and all the hard work and  nancial support from the group, along with all the donators, made the park a reality. To continue to build and add onto our park, though, we still need continued support from the community. The dog park has many options for providing  nancial support, ranging from simple donations at the “donation box” to naming rights for larger donations. All the donations go directly into an isolated fund that is to be used for future improvements. Please contact the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department with any questions you have about  nancially supporting the future of the De Pere Dog Park. We can be reached at 920-339-8362 or at dmelichar@deperewi.gov. Parkway Tree Planting ProgramOur fall tree planting orders were taken until September 20th. Our spring orders will be taken from the end of February thru the end of March and the tree species and varieties will be determined at that time. Further information can be obtained by calling the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department at 920-339-4065 or it can be accessed on the City’s website at www.deperewi.gov. During the above dates, the form for ordering trees will be available on that website. *It should be noted that De Pere has an ordinance limiting homeowner plantings in the terrace or on any City right-of-way and requires you to  ll out a ROW Planting Permit. If you have a question or concern, please contact the City Forester for clari cation. Parkway Tree Pruning or RemovalThe De Pere Forestry Department will perform all pruning and removal of parkway trees. Parkway trees are all trees that fall within the City right-of-way (those that are between the curb and the back of the sidewalk or where it would be located). Pruning will take place either at the time of planting (typically only broken or damaged limbs will be removed), upon the request of a property owner, on a periodic pruning cycle or as the need is determined by the City (i.e. branches are a hazard). Though the trees may look different, please be assured that our crewmembers are trained and have an action plan when they approach a tree. Removal requests are evaluated by the City Forester. Trees also are periodically evaluated by City staff and may be targeted for removal. Homeowners are noti ed and advised of their options.The City of De Pere will not “top” trees on any City property, and it is likewise not advised that any other individual or company partake in such a practice. Topping a tree opens the tree to insect and disease attacks, causes severe internal decay and structural problems, and reduces the tree’s ability to manufacture stored root reserves. This practice is extremely detrimental to all trees and does not follow the natural growth habits of the plants. Please consult the City Forester about any pruning or removal questions for City owned trees or about your own trees.
