Thursday, January 15, 9:30 a.m. to Noon in Lincoln, and repeated
in Springfield from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Program locations are 980
N. Postville Drive, Lincoln and 700 S. Airport Drive,

all ash trees within a community in order to develop budget
needs should large-scale ash tree removal become necessary.
