@ottawavalleywx @oakfirescience I'm worried about the future of oak from oak wilt.

[Matthew D Mertins @MertinsMd]

@JesseKak @Forests_Ontario Nice I guess I just need to go to the right place!

Did you know that foaming on the surface of productive lakes and streams is often a naturally occurring phenomenon and not a result of environmental pollution?

Aquatic plants naturally die and decompose. As turbulence brings air into the organically enriched water, bubbles form!

Oak wilt can be spread aboveground by spores & sap beetles. These spores can be hiding in firewood and attract sap beetles at the site of fresh wounds. Don't move firewood, and don't prune trees when these beetles are active from April-October. Learn more: https://t.co/dhHWDcIL7L

#Pembroke 1 (PEM001) started Sunday evening by Centennial Lake in the Greater Madawaska area. It is currently about 50 hectares. Joint response with #MNRF, #OPP and neighbouring municipalities are taking place. For evacuation information, contact the municipality at 613-752-2222.

🔥 perspective: 🇨🇦 has 362 million hectares of🌲 land. Canadian foresters sustainably harvest over 700,000 hectares annually - replacing more than what’s taken. 3.3 million hectares have burned in a few weeks. Devastating. Thinking of those impacted & our brave first responders.
