Sadly the Emerald Ash Borer is upon us, even on the ash-dense grounds of beautiful Université de Moncton, where we identified a significant infestation (map i-Naturalist).

An old one ton chevy diesel truck for sale
A man on top of a truck clearing it of snow in a winter sunset
Our beloved 1-Ton Chev is retiring! It started out as Mount Allison University's moving truck and dump truck, then worked wonders for us for well over ten years.
Strange how you can become so fond of an old truck.

A sugar maple sapling bleeding a drop of sap after late winter pruning
A new allée to eventually replace the old.
Structural pruning of these Sugar Maples will maximise their chances of staying strong and healthy.
