ASH TREES

Andy Kessell of the Cedar Rapids Forestry Department watches as a piece of an ash tree falls after being cut on Friday, Jan. 7, 2011, in southeast Cedar Rapids. The city is cutting down nearly 400 ash trees in preparation for the spread of emerald ash borers across the Midwest and into Iowa. The homeowner requested this tree be removed.
