Just some info for our friends in Bruce County, which is really not far from Collingwood. Emerald Ash Borer has infected Ash trees there. This is a paragraph from the Government of Canada in regards to this, July 2, 2013 "Emerald Ash Borer Confirmed in Grey County, Ontario The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed the presence of the emerald ash borer (EAB) in Grey County. The emerald ash borer was discovered on the 4th Sideroad, south of Meaford, Ontario. Movement restrictions, which prohibit the movement of all ash materials—such as logs, branches and wood chips—and all species of firewood from the affected site, will be put in place. Property owners will be notified of these restrictions. Further regulatory measures will be considered once all survey work has been completed for the year." If you have Ash trees on your property, please watch for signs of this invader. It will kill your trees, and continue to kill more. Take a look at this link for more info. Or contact an arborist if you are unsure. inspection.gc.ca/plants/plant-protection/insects/emerald-ash-borer/eng/1337273882117/1337273975030
