New regulations have been imposed on the City of Winnipeg to slow the spread of the deadly Emerald Ash Borer, but how will the new rules affect you and your wood business?

This session will help firewood sellers, landscapers, nursery operators, tree removal companies and others in the wood business understand the impact of the ban on moving ash wood out of the city.

EAB restrictions are new to Manitoba, so to help answer your questions, the Woodlot Association of Manitoba, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Manitoba Sustainable Development (Forestry) and the City of Winnipeg (Forestry) are hosting an up-coming information session. Learn how to deal with EAB and the regulatory impacts from the experts.
