At the recent Quarterly SFNA meeting, City Arborist Andrew Cammack made a presentation about two current threats to the trees of Frankfort and Franklin County.

The Emerald Ash Borer and Bacterial Leaf Scorch are already damaging trees in the area and action should be taken now to protect trees and property.

Some counties, including Franklin, are under quarantine — firewood should not be transported between counties!
