Fact: It has been estimated that there are 110 million ash trees in Illinois.
Fact: The 110 million ash trees in Illinos provide enough oxygen for 11 million people.
Fact: The cost to Illinois communities can range from $8,000 for the smallest to $1.2 billion for Chicago.
Fact: The cost to a homeowner for each infested ash tree would be $1,000 for removal and another $1,000 for replacement and carting off the infested wood. The state could require that you remove all ash trees on your property whether infected or not.
