Arborjet announces Saving America’s Iconic Trees campaign

Woburn, Mass.,— Arborjet announced the launch of “Saving America’s Iconic Trees,” the company’s latest initiative to ensure the health and longevity of the country’s trees. The campaign targets America’s iconic trees, offering complimentary treatment to prevent insects, disease and poor health. Throughout 2018, Arborjet will donate high-profile treatments and host educational events across the country. The company invites private homeowners and state, city, town and municipal leaders to nominate iconic trees in their communities for potential recognition and treatment by visiting Arborjet.com/SavingAmericasIconicTrees.

Arborjet will donate trunk injection treatments to these trees. Trunk injections are delivered directly into a tree’s vascular system and sealed in the tree, limiting environmental exposure and allowing for responsible treatment on both public and private properties.

While trees may appear imposing and strong, even the most amazing are vulnerable to disease, drought and invasive and devastating pests like the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). To date, EAB has been found in 31 states and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and is wreaking havoc on urban forests, already having destroyed hundreds of millions of ash trees. Arborjet plans to expand its efforts to save America’s iconic trees including the following already under the company’s care:
