proficiency, previous experience, and readiness. This key is only a guide. Red Cross also has

DUTCH ELM DISEASE
 To reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED), pruning of elm trees is prohibited throughout
 Saskatchewan each year from April 1 until August 31. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the
 beetles that spread the disease, increasing the chance of an infection. The annual pruning ban
 is in effect during the time of year when elm bark beetles are most active.
 Pruning is an important part of regular elm tree care and is encouraged, before and after the
 annual ban period. Proper pruning helps keep trees healthy and better able to resist disease.
 The removal of dead and dying elm wood through pruning also helps to reduce beetles breeding
 habitat and control the beetle population. Timely and proper disposal of the pruned wood is also
 essential to keep DED from spreading. Throughout the year, including the ban period, prompt
 removal of infected elms is critical to effective disease management.
 Provincial regulations also require commercial pruners of elm trees to have taken a recognized
 training program or be under the supervision of someone who has. Improper pruning techniques
 can contribute to the spread of many tree diseases, including DED. Contact your local municipality
 if you think you may have a DED infestation.
