Episode Details

Another Dutch elm disease outbreak hits downtown Edmonton—this is the 17th confirmed case this year. The city’s on high alert, swiftly removing infected trees and their neighbors to stop beetle spread. With elms making up 22% of urban trees, rapid removal, regular pruning, and one-kilometer radius monitoring are key. Over 185,000 visual checks and 57 lab tests have been conducted so far. And yes, you can help: don’t move firewood into Edmonton—burn it where you buy it to prevent beetle transport.
