District of Lunenburg: Longhorn Spruce Beetle on Agenda

The longhorn spruce beetle found in the Lunenburg area recently has caught the attention of the Municipality. CAO Tammy Wilson says its a new issue for the Municipality and they haven't held any discussions. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has written a notice prohibiting movement of any spruce logs, bark or wood chips off grounds in the Sawpit Wharf or Garden Lot areas without permit. The Municipality is expected to discuss the beetle during its next council meeting December 13.
