Emerald Ash Borer at Shimek Forest
Sadly, the Emrald Ash Borer arrived at Shimek as it has all over the area. Many ash trees are dead or dying. This has resulted in the need to remove a number of trees from both Lick Creek campgrounds because they were either dead or dying. Right now, the areas will look a little bare, but Forester Byrd plans to plant replacement trees within a year.
