Over the next several years, Sioux Falls will lose its ash tree population due to
an invasive species known as the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Sioux Falls ReLeaf
is a collaborative effort to raise private and public dollars to replenish the urban
forest threatened by the EAB.
The City has set a fundraising goal of $2.5 million over the next five years.
Dollars raised will support tree planting on the City’s park system, as well as a
cost-share program designs to assist homeowners, as they replant trees in their
public parking strips.
