Each year pruning elm trees are prohibited from April 1st to August 31st to reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED).
Elm bark beetles are most active during that time period and are attracted to fresh cuts.
The province is reminding residents that early fall can be a good time for tree maintenance and having the leaves still on the tree makes it easier to spot and remove dead or unhealthy branches.
