(Lincoln, NE)  --  A tree infestation has been confirmed in Lincoln.  The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department and the Nebraska Department of Agriculture say a tree with Emerald Ash Borer infestation was discovered last week in the central part of the city.  The Lincoln City Council approved a program in 2018 calling for the removal of thousands of ash trees in parks and along streets over the next 15 years.
