  • Dutch Elm Disease Prevention Program
    Society To Prevent Dutch Elm Disease 2009/2010 Annual Report STOPDED Chair Message - Milton Davies While it is very difficult to thank all of the individuals that have made contributions to keep Alberta Dutch Elm Disease (DED) free, on behalf of the Society To Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) board and its membership, I would like to thank the following partners for their annual financial support. It is my desire that STOPDED continue to be part of the solution in keeping Alberta free of DED and other exotic tree pests. I would like to specifically thank Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Sustainable Resource Development, Tourism, Parks and Recreation, and Municipal Affairs for their annual funding and kind support. I would also like to thank all the Agricultural Fieldman, Assistant Agricultural Fieldman, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canadian Forest Services, Canadian Border Services, Environment Canada, elm bark beetle trap collaborators, those that help us out with the firewood bin collection and disposal and the contractors that administrate and operate the Provincial Dutch Elm Disease Prevention Program. As the STOPDED Chair, I believe very strongly in the importance of maintaining our existing partnerships and developing new ones. Without all this support from government and all of STOPDED’s other partners, the level of vigilance we maintain would be impossible. The experience in the Provinces and other areas that are fighting DED has proven that a prevention management program is essential. Until there is a cure for DED, prevention remains our most effective form of control. Table of Contents 1. Background 2. Current DED Situation 3.
