Appleton stockpiles logs that will be sold to the highest bidder. The wood, shown here along East Glendale Avenue, comes from damaged, diseased or undesirable trees that have been removed from city terraces and parks. Reader question: Ash trees infected by the emerald ash borer are being removed all over Appleton. What is the city doing with the wood?
