My neighbor is trying to save his ash tree at the moment. The emerald ash bore and the chestnut tree disease that changed the Northeast long ago has been devasting.

I am heavily and actively involved with NY state and NYFOA in reforesting efforts and I can tell you: The Northeast Hardwood forest we see, what is left of it anyway, may not be here in 70 years at all. It might all be invasives that are resistant to bugs from China.
I lay awake at night worrying about the tree canopy in my town. No lie. I put a mental dollar in the pot whenever I see a tree suffering or cut down and then contribute to my local tree organization. And I get plenty of derision for being a tree hugger.
My neighbors are especially hard on trees with their casual and uninformed pruning, yard chemicals, over mulching and neglect. People spread tree disease by moving diseased tree logs from one place to another for firewood and mulching with diseased tree remnants. Carelessness.

I stay awake at night worried about this.
No lie.
