What are SAP-Ne demonstration sites?

Our demonstration sites are established areas in the Northeast designed to showcase effective techniques for stewarding ash trees. The purpose of these demonstration sites are to serve as hands-on classrooms where forestry practioners, landowners, and stewards can see firsthand the positive outcomes of thoughtful ash management in the face of emerald ash borer.
