Price County plans 130-acre hardwood thinning at Timm’s Hill to remove ash ahead of emerald ash borer
Summary
Committee discussed a timber sale to thin about 130 acres at Timm’s Hill, focusing on removing ash trees preemptively ahead of emerald ash borer and options for processing leftover treetops.
Forestry Administrator Joe Grapa told the committee that the county plans to thin roughly 130 acres of hardwood at Timm’s Hill, with ash trees the main target to remove before the expected arrival of emerald ash borer. The thinning is intended as a proactive forest-health measure.
Grapa said the committee discussed post-harvest disposal options for leftover treetops, including mulching or chipping. The minutes reference prior timber activity at the park (a timber sale around 2010 and tree removal near the tower in 2015) as context for the forthcoming sale.
