Published July 26, 2024

A large tree next to the main access road at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial has been identified for immediate removal by ABMC Horticulture due to bark beetle infection. Removal will require use of a large crane and several large trucks. The removal process will block the plots and parking areas of the cemetery.
