Save Your Ash 2024

We’re raising funds to treat over 150 ash trees in GRO

The City ended its treatment of ash trees in 2019 to save money, leaving the burden on individual taxpayers to treat and protect their parkway trees. Treating our mature ash trees helps everyone - we keep our streets and sidewalks cool and our kids’ slack lines elevated.

GRO will ensure that all money raised during this campaign will be used to treat an ash tree in our neighborhood. If you’d like to save a specific tree, please be sure to provide the street address of the tree in question.

While we hope that all of our ash trees can be saved, an arborist will make the final determination regarding a tree’s health at the time of treatment. If you donated money to save a tree that is too sick to save, we will apply your donation to save a nearby, healthy ash tree. Having a healthy tree in our neighborhood, regardless of location, benefits us all!

We are awaiting the survey results that include the southern portion of GRO. Stay tuned! There are even more ash trees.
