Emerald Ash Borer Cost Calculator

Welcome to the Emerald Ash Borer Cost Calculator

Forest managers have 3 options available for managing emerald ash borer:

Treat ash trees with insecticides
Remove ash trees
Remove ash trees and replace them with resistant trees

The particular combination of these options that is best for any forest depends on the number and size of your ash trees as well as the size of your management budget.

Use this calculator to:

Compare the annual and cumulative costs over a 25 year period for ANY management strategy that includes a mixture of tree removal, replacement, and insecticide treatment.
Generate printed reports of projected costs of up to 3 management strategies at a time.

To run the calculator you will need:

An inventory of the number and size of ash trees
An estimate of costs for removing and treating trees based on the size of each tree.
An estimate of costs for replacing each ash tree that is removed.
