<div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black;"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">I think "the horse is already out of the barn" around here as far as the ash borer is concerned. Every ash tree I have seen around here is either withering or dead, unless it was treated against the borers. I suppose the wood shouldn't be removed from the area, though, just to comply with the directives. I would defer to George's opinion on this.<br>Gerry<br><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Phil Smith <psmithw318@gmail.com><br>To: Fran B. <sandhillcrane@hotmail.com><br>Cc: lekooks@lekook.org <lekooks@lekook.org>; Gerald Flakas <gerflak@aol.com><br>Sent: Thu, Dec 6, 2018 8:03 am<br>Subject: Re: [Lekooks] LCUUC parking lot closure DO NOT USE THE WOOD!<br><br></div><div id="yiv1026864266"><div>Thanks Fran<div>George probably knows more on this ( please chime in) but I did a quick check on Wisconsin regulations on wood with the ash borer and we cannot move such wood out of the quarantined area of the southern half of Wisconsin.

The large ash tree which is infected by the Emerald Ash Borer will be taken down Friday, so
<strong>the south parking lot will be closed Friday and Saturday. Do not use the south parking lot entrance; use the east entrance and parking lot instead.<br clear="none">

Should be all cleaned up by Saturday evening.<br clear="none">
