Sustainable Eden Prairie
Sustainable Eden Prairie is an ongoing effort focusing on education and implementation of sustainable practices to protect the environment and natural resources our community enjoys.
Building upon the success of the 20-40-15 initiative, the City is leading by example and providing a foundation for residents and businesses to carry out sustainable practices in four areas — energy, landscape, waste and water.
Discounted EAB Treatments Available
Eden Prairie has recently experienced a sharp increase in ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Citywide group discount available to treat healthy ash trees for EAB.
Eden Prairie has experienced a sharp increase in ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). While many property owners are treating ash trees to protect them from EAB, 99% of the trees left untreated will die from the pest and need to be removed.
Due to the increase in EAB, the City recommends treating healthy ash trees in 2021 to prevent infestation. Treating trees or removing them before they are infested is often less expensive than removing infested trees.
When replacing ash trees, property owners are encouraged to replant a diverse range of species to reduce the potential impact of future invasive species.
Information about treatment options and the City’s EAB management plan are available at edenprairie.org/EAB.
