Guelph, Ontario, June 11, 2025 – The city of Guelph is currently marking public trees for the distance later this year. Trees in parks and natural areas that are dangerous, and the ash trees by the emerald Ash Boorer (EAB) are marked with an orange “X” to designate them as a distance.
The areas in which trees are marked for distance include:
- Speedvale Avenue in the Ellis Creek wetland
- Hadati Creek near the Creighton Avenue, the Chesterton Lane and the Schroders Crescent
- Watson Creek between Watson Parkway North and Severn Drive and along the Creekside Drive
- Robin Road Park
- Hanlon Creek Business Park am Hanlon Creek Boulevard
- Eramosa River Park
- York Road Park
Tree distances begin in autumn 2025 and can continue in winter by spring 2026. This work is carried out as part of our emerald -ash -Borer plan and the annual operating company of the dangerous tree.
Dangerous trees on private property
Dangerous limbs and trees from private property are the responsibility of the owner. According to the viewing standards, you have to re -evaluate, remove and replace dangerous trees and ash trees that are affected by EAB.
About the Emerald Ash Borer plan
The Emerald Ash Borer is a very destructive, not local wooden beetle, which feeds under the bark of the ash and ultimately kills it. EAB is expected to destroy almost 100 percent of the untreated street, parking and forest ash with Guelph. Further information on tree pulse and diseases can be found at guelph.ca/eab.
