Bluffton will receive 40 non-host species emerald ash borer (EAB) replacement trees if a U.S. Forestry grant gets a green light. The Village of Ottawa will receive 1,348 trees through the grant.
The Blanchard River Watershed partnership (BRWP) is applying for the grant and the banks of the Little Riley and Riley Creek will be benefactors locally.
