The contract, extending until December 31, 2027, is for providing pesticide treatment to publicly owned ash trees across Denver to combat the emerald ash borer beetle.

Trees selected for treatment must be in fair or better health, have a Diameter at Breast Height of 15 inches or greater, and have less than 30% canopy affected.
