Tinmouth to notify homeowners about emerald ash borer and safe handling of ash firewood
Summary
Board members planned a postcard and website outreach to inform residents about EAB, recommended not moving ash firewood and suggested using Richmond's postcard template; they estimated about 400 postcards would be needed to reach households.
The board discussed a public outreach campaign to inform residents about the emerald ash borer, recommended precautions for handling ash firewood and proposed using a postcard template from neighboring Richmond. Tree warden Dave Burtzoff urged homeowners "Don't move that" (ash firewood) and recommended keeping ash wood on-site to limit spread.
Board members estimated roughly 450 properties in town and proposed printing about 400 postcards and posting information to the town website. The board agreed to draft a notice, adapt the Richmond template and send the outreach after they confirm inspection plans with Green Mountain Power and contractor availability.
