The invasive emerald ash borer, a destructive beetle that kills ash trees, has been confirmed in Salem for the first time. We’ve been preparing for this moment for years. The City of Salem has conducted tree inventories, halted new ash plantings, and treated healthy trees with protective insecticide.

Nearly 4,000 ash trees in Salem are at risk. Our ongoing efforts include tree injections, removals, replanting with diverse species, and community education to slow the spread.

Help protect Salem’s urban forest by not moving firewood or ash materials outside quarantine zones and learning how to identify ash trees.
