Ash Forest Transition Tree Planting Project
The FNPCW is undertaking a 5-year transition of our black ash-dominated wetland forest to native trees that are projected to fare well in a warming climate. The wetland forests surrounding North Pikes Creek and its headwaters are facing the dual challenges of an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation of black ash trees, and a future warmer, drier climate.
