Renovate · Decorate · Celebrate Town to outline EAB plan Residents wanting to learn more about what they can do to combat the emerald ash borer (EAB) can attend an open house at the Oakville Arena on Saturday, March 31. The invasive pest knows no boundaries, is working hard to destroy Oakville's ash tree population and is so destructive it's on Time's Top 10 Evil Animals list. The Town's interactive open house, which runs from 10 a.m.-noon in the arena's Pine Room, will educate residents about Oakville's proposed EAB Strategic Management Plan, teach participants how to identify ash trees and recognize signs of EAB infestation, as well as demonstrate the Town's current science-based approach to managing the insect.

McNeil said Oakville has one of the most aggressive ash tree treatment programs in Canada that includes treatment of nearly 6,000 street and park trees. With 180,000 private and public trees at risk, McNeil said, the Town was the first municipality in Canada to complete an early warning detection project that accurately maps EAB in Oakville. The Emerald Ash Borer, a metallic greencoloured beetle, destroys an ash tree's vascular system by tunneling its way underneath the bark, killing the tree within years if left untreated.
