OTTAWA – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has updated its regulated areas for emerald ash borer (EAB) to include an area in New Brunswick, in an effort to slow the insect’s spread. This change is due to a detection of EAB in the city of Edmundston. The new regulated area in New Brunswick consists of the county of Madawaska, excluding the municipality of Grand Falls. Effective immediately, the movement of ash materials, including logs, branches and woodchips, and all species of firewood from the county of Madawaska, excluding the municipality of Grand Falls, is restricted. If you need to move regulated articles such as ash logs and branches or firewood of any species out of the EAB regulated area, please contact your local CFIA office to request written authorization.
