Bronze Leaf Disease of Poplar Trees

A new tree disease is attacking Swedish Columnar Aspens (Tower Poplars) in Whitemud Hills and other areas where these tall skinny trees have been widely used in recent years. This disease came from Manitoba, and at first was only seen in new saplings, but it is now spreading to the 15 to 20 year old trees. (The leaves of a branch will turn red, when the rest of the tree is green, and when one examines the red leaves one can see that the veins are still green). The red leaves will not drop off with the healthy leaves in the fall if they have the disease. To check the trees for tell-tale signs see the link below.

An Interview with a Home Owner about a Home Energy Audit

Have you ever considered making your home more environmentally-friendly or more energy efficient? The first step to making changes which can save energy is to do a home energy audit. This means that a certified professional would come to your home and evaluate where improvements can be made in order to save energy. By doing a home energy audit, you may also be eligible for rebates on upgrades. In order to find out more about home energy audits, Angela Beltaos (AB) conducted an interview with a home owner (GW) who has recently been through the process. Questions were designed by David Kay of Lakeland College with additional questions by the interviewer.
