Province prepares for a beetle attack
Province prepares for a beetle attack The brown spruce longhorn beetle has ravaged trees
in Halifax’s Point Pleasant Park and now neighbouring New
Brunswick is setting traps to prevent the beetle from migrating to
their forests. New Brunswick’s Natural Resources Department
has set 100 special insect traps in order to ward off any invasion
of the species. The beetle has not yet been seen in New Brunswick
but officials remain concerned about the danger to the
province’s trees. 30 JUNE 2000
