I'm a homeowner in Allegheny County, PA with 7 1/4 acres. I unfortunately have a large number of Ash trees that have been affected by the Emerald Ash Borer beetle - a total of 31 in all. All of the trees have either recently died or are dying (they seem too far advanced with the beetle infestation to be able to treat). My question is whether or not the trees could be logged and used locally? (since transporting out of our county will only potentially spread the beetle). I've cut four trees down already, and they appear to have solid trunks (the beetles have only affected the area immediately under the bark). Will the wood from the trees be able to be used for anything other than my firepit? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
