Oshkosh Reminds Residence… Get Rid Of Nuisance Trees, Or Else

The City of Oshkosh has issued a reminder to residents about the danger and nuisance that diseased ash trees can cause.

A release provided by the City states that property owners with a diseased and potentially hazardous tree may receive a letter indicating that they must remove the tree.

If the property owner does not remove the tree, The city has the authority to have the tree removed at the property owner’s expense.

Once infested with emerald ash borer, ash trees start to die and dry out, increasing the chances of tree failure and the potential for property damage.

The City of Fond du Lac has a similar code for nuisance trees in the city.
