Everyone is Encouraged to Check a Tree This Month.

Throughout August the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is asking you to check for invasive pests in your backyard in honor of Tree Check Month.  Check local parks, gardens, backyards and vehicles for unwelcome pests.  Contact the CFIA if you suspect you have found an invasive plant, insect, disease, snail or other plant pest foreign to the area and don’t move firewood, burn local or heat treated firewood.

             

The Agency’s Chief Plant Health Officer David Bailey states the power of everyday citizen scientists should not be underestimated as the finding and reporting from even one person could be a big help to Canadian tree and plant health. The Plant Health Hero challenge is open to anyone in Canada and features activities for youth.
