The Department of Sustainable Development encourages Manitobans to help prevent the spread of EAB:
• don’t move firewood,
• burn firewood where it has been purchased,
• plant a variety of tree species to increase diversity,
• learn how to identify an ash tree, and
• learn how to identify the signs and symptoms of EAB.
