Emerald Ash Borer Workshop - Summary Report
Date: March 26-27, 2024
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) workshop, hosted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and facilitated by the New Brunswick Invasive Species Council, brought together stakeholders from Eastern Canada and the US to address the threat posed by EAB (Agrilus planipennis Fairemaire) to the region’s ash trees (Fraxinus spp.). Designed to foster dialogue and collaboration, the workshop aimed to reflect on past regulatory strategies and outline future directions for EAB management over the next 5-10 years.
Key objectives included understanding stakeholder perspectives and expectations regarding EAB management, alongside exploring diverse approaches such as biocontrol and selective breeding. This “what we heard” report serves to capture insights and recommendations, guiding further exploration of strategies to safeguard Eastern Canada’s ash trees.
