The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded its
quarantine zone for Emerald Ash Borers yet again following the discovery of
more of the pests in Quebec.
The quarantine zone now covers all of Southern Ontario and
most of Southwestern Quebec.
There is a ban on moving wood outside of the quarantine
zone.
On the other hand, there’s some good news about Dutch Elm
disease. The City of Toronto has been planting elms and enjoying success so far
with a hybrid that is more vigorous.
