Regarding removal of the Ash trees in the St. John Nepomucene Cemetery

Regarding removal of the Ash trees in the St. John Nepomucene Cemetery

At a meeting this past winter, the Cemetery Committee decided to remove our Ash trees because of EAB (Emerald Ash Bore Disease) as nearly all of them were infected. Removing all of the Ash trees at the same time saves the cemetery money verses removing a few every year. Our decision also reflected safety and damage issues, if these weakened trees would topple in a storm.

There are plans to plant different varieties of trees that are more suitable for our cemetery. As we fully realize that this process will take time, we ask for your patience and understanding. Thank you.

If you have any questions, please click here on how to contact the St. John Cemetery Association.
