Village has spent $135,000 to treat trees against emerald ash borer BY LAURA KATAUSKAS | STAFF REPORTER In a battle against an invasive beetle that is wreaking havoc in communities everywhere, how to handle the emerald ash borer is key. Romeoville Public Works Director Erick Bjork estimates that the village treats 2,000 ash trees on public property and on the right-of-way and an unknown number on private property. Trying to keep the devastation of trees at bay, the village of Romeoville has been treating its ash trees since 2012 in various areas with trunk injections of “Tree-Age” by a contractor. Any parkway tree that has been treated by the contractor has been marked with an identifying tag number on the trunk of the tree (some trees may have multiple tags if they have been treated multiple years). see ‘TREES’ on Page 4
