A Note about Ash Stand Replacement

Black Ash forests are more vulnerable to the impact of the Emerald Ash Borer due to the rather high percentage of Black Ash trees present. Without the living ash trees, the forest is likely to convert to a non-forested wetland. Reforestation after an ash harvest thus aids in the overall survival of the forest. However, choosing replacement species depend upon site conditions and management decisions.
