Ames Foundation landscaping projects spruce up entryways As part of ongoing initiatives over the years to welcome visitors to Ames and beautify our entryways, The Ames Foundation arranged for the construction of a large sign at the southwest corner of the Interstate 35 and 13th Street intersection. It is constructed of limestone columns, with stainless steel letters, and is lighted at night. It sits on a landscaped area just north of the Danfoss facility. Just recently, two additional signs were constructed on the east and west ends of Highway 30. The emerald ash borer (EAB) insect has been found in Story County and the damage it will soon inict upon Ames’ very large ash tree population is signiďŹ cant. Over the next ďŹ ve years, approximately 5,000 ash trees in public spaces scattered throughout the city must be removed and replaced. Ash trees are common in Ames and can be found in practically every neighborhood. Their loss, coupled with costs associated with replacing them,
presents a huge challenge for our entire community — and this is a challenge The Ames Foundation and the city of Ames have joined forces to address. In the spring of 2015, The Ames Foundation entered a multi-year partnership
with the city of Ames to fund and plant trees to replace the ash that will be lost to the EAB. The Foundation’s primary role is to raise funds needed to help defray the cost of new trees and to organize interested citizens who will help plant and maintain these trees in
our community parks, green spaces, and rights-of-way. The ultimate goal is to secure private funding and volunteer support to plant an additional 200 to 250 trees per year above what the city is undertaking as part of its EAB response plan.
