MOORHEAD — A forestry crew was busy removing ash trees along a south-side boulevard this week in an effort to slow the potentially devastating impact of the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that recently darkened Moorhead's doorstep . In preparation for the tree cutting, foresters went through the residential neighborhood along the 1100 block of 30th Street South in Moorhead and left an orange X on all the trees slated for the ax. 'We're a little disappointed because we don't have many trees in the area,' said Katy Enkers, a nearby resident.
