RESTORATION OF OUR TREES SHEBOYGAN (ROOTS)
Restoration of our Trees Sheboygan (ROOTS) is a collaborative effort between Sheboygan Rotary Club and Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership (LNRP) to address the serious threat of the Emerald Ash Borer to Sheboygan County's rich forestry resources. ROOTS is seeking support from municipalities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. With your help, we can lessen EAB's impact and protect our beautiful woodlands and tree-lined streets for generations to come.

The threat Emerald Ash Borer poses to our areas tree canopy has overwhelmed public agencies at all levels. Public resources and financial support are needed for reforestation planning, tree removal, replanting of diverse tree stocks, maintenance, and even public education and engagement. Please consider how you can contribute to saving and reviving Sheboygan County's landscape.
Volunteer
To be successful in our efforts of improving public awareness, engagement and support for urban forest management, we need community members to join us in volunteering. Volunteers will:
* Conduct tree inventories around Sheboygan County
* Monitor ash tree populations
*Replant new trees
