FORT PIERRE — For the third time in seven months the Fort Pierre City Council has cut down a plan to address preventing devastation to the city’s ash trees from the invasive Emerald Ash Borer. Fort Pierre City Council president Todd Bernhard says he thought the latest plan checked all the boxes…
Bernhard says it is a “responsible” plan especially given the city’s recent designation as a Tree City U-S-A. Leading opposition to the most recent plan was again Council member Larry Cronin…
Cronin seemed to want more direct interaction with the plan…
The ash tree removal and replacement plan could come back before the Fort Pierre City Council for the fourth time at it’s first meeting in June.
