OFGAC's EAB Working Group, with the leadership of Ottawa Forestry Services and the kind help of the Ottawa Horticultural Society, are working to help track the progress and movement of the Emerald Ash Borer.

The City of Ottawa has more information on EAB posted online:

Residents are urged:
- not to move firewood out of Ottawa or into communities adjacent to Ottawa.
- not to bring firewood to your cottage or campsites
- to buy your firewood locally and know where it originates
- to remember that the EAB continues to live in the wood, even after the tree is cut down.
