Emerald Ash Borer Spreads its Wings
The emerald ash borer (EAB) continues to spread across southern Ontario and now into Quebec. In June 2008, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer south of Montreal in the Montérégie region of Quebec. In July, and closer to home, the CFIA confirmed the presence of EAB in the cities of Brampton, Oakville, Ottawa and Mississauga. The following fact sheets have been developed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and its partners to assist landowners in their management activities when their woodlot is threatened by an alien invasive species.
