The city has announced that Dutch Elm disease surveys are underway in Dauphin.
Provincial inspectors will be in private and public areas in the city over the coming weeks to look for infected trees, as well as elm firewood with the bark still attached - which can spread Dutch Elm disease and is illegal to store.
The inspectors, who will be wearing high visibility vests and government-issued I-D, will knock on your door prior to taking branch samples, marking DED-infected trees, or marking elm firewood for removal.
Residents are also cautioned that these inspections might take place during evening hours or on weekends.
