Replacing Trees Affected by Emerald Ash Borer

Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis are coordinating to remove and replace trees in Forest Park affected by the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle destroying millions of ash trees in North America.

Along Grand Drive near the Visitor Center and Dwight Davis Tennis Center, the City Forestry Division has removed 41 trees while Forest Park Forever has replaced them with Wildfire Tupelo trees that will provide a beautiful experience for visitors in every season.

Prescribed Burn Season until April 2025

It is the season for prescribed burns in Forest Park, now through April 2025.

Controlled burning is an essential management tool for Missouri's habitats and our conservancy is happy to report over a decade of successful prescribed burns in partnership with the City of St. Louis. Data our experts have collected indicates, the ability to repeatedly and consistently burn in Forest Park’s Nature Reserve contributes to the habitat’s diversity and overall good health.
