Episode Details

In Wolseley, a determined neighborhood group has launched an extraordinary grassroots effort to save their iconic elm trees from Dutch elm disease—injecting over 150 public trees with a powerful fungicide to shield them from destruction. While the city focuses on removing infected trees to halt spread, this community-driven initiative prioritizes preserving mature trees that offer decades of shade and beauty. Using Arbotect 20-S delivered via precision injections, they’ve built an internal defense system for each tree. Though the city admits such large-scale inoculation is financially out of reach, the project’s success has already inspired other neighborhoods to follow suit, proving that local action can reshape urban forestry.
