TOLL-FREE DUTCH ELM DISEASE INFORMATION LINE ANNOUNCED

Released on May 22, 1996

Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management (SERM), in
co-operation with Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food, is providing a
toll-free Dutch Elm Disease (DED) information line, Environment and
Resource Management Minister Lorne Scott announced today.

For information about DED or to report disease symptoms, residents can
call 1-800-SASK ELM (1-800-727-5356). Regina residents should call
787-2711. Lines are staffed Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to noon and
1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; however, messages may be left anytime.

DED affects only elm trees. The first symptoms, drooping wilted
leaves, will start to appear toward the end of June. These leaves will
turn yellow, then brown and remain on the branch. "In order to protect
our stately elms, trees suspected of being infected with DED should be
reported promptly," Scott said.

DED is a fungus, spread by tiny elm bark beetles. Since these beetles
live under the bark of elmwood, regulations make it illegal to
transport or store elm firewood. Because the beetles are attracted to
fresh sap, pruning of elm trees between April 13 and July 31 is also
prohibited.
