Information about Ash Tree Management in the Town of Holland
The invasive and destructive emerald ash borer is killing ash trees throughout Sheboygan County at an alarming rate. All native ash tree species – white, green, and black – are vulnerable and are either infected or will soon become infected. The dead ash trees pose numerous safety hazards: large brittle branches can snap off and cause personal injury, mature trees can blow over resulting in property damage, power outages and blocked roads and the dry wood is a fire hazard, especially if struck by lightning. It is important that the condition of ash trees near roads, public parks and recreation areas, cemeteries, and utility lines in the Town of Holland be monitored and addressed.
Please note that property owners may notify WE Energies about dying trees near power lines, however, tree management on private property in the Town of Holland is the responsibility of private property owners. The Town of Holland will exercise tree management and take down trees that are located in the road right-of-way on Town roads and other areas open to the public throughout the Township as time and weather allows. If you observe any trees in those areas that should be addressed by the Township, please contact Clerk-Treasurer Janelle Kaiser using the contact information at the bottom of this notice.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. For more information regarding the emerald ash borer and mitigation efforts in Sheboygan County, you may visit www.rootswi.org.

Solar Energy Project Joint Development Agreement
Responsibility for permitting the Onion River Solar Project lies with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. Because the Town does not have permitting authority, the Town and County have worked on and approved a Joint Development Agreement to ensure that, if the project is approved, we have Onion River’s commitment to meet these requirements that are not mandated by the state, including items such as:
• Commitments to fund decommissioning;
• Considerations for non‐participating neighboring landowners;
• Maintaining and repairing roads, if damaged;
• Setbacks from residences and roads;
• Compensation for school districts and Lakeshore Technical college;
• Processes for communications between Ranger Power and the Town and County, along with construction guidelines/expectations/responsibilities.
The Joint Development Agreement was approved without dissent by both the Town Board and the County Board. If the project is not approved by the state, this agreement will be void. The Press Release has additional information.
