Community Field and Forest would like to make folks aware of the invasive Emerald Ash Borer beetle.

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) attacks and kills all ash trees.
Hundreds of thousands of ash trees are vulnerable. The environmental, social, and economic impacts of EAB in Alberta are considerable. It has not been detected in Alberta yet.

Monitoring and sharing your observations exponentially increases Alberta’s capacity for early detection and rapid response of this invasive wood-boring species.

Visit https://communityfieldandforest.ca/ to learn what to do if you find an EAB beetle, your participation will make a huge difference!

Reminder – we have great Pickleball and tennis courts.

Community Pickleball times:
- Sun: 10am to noon
- Wed: 9am to 11am (new time)
- Tues and Thur 7pm to 9pm
All levels welcome!

Members can book the courts for their own use any other time - https://strathconacommunity.ca/court-conditions/court-bookings/
And access the league’s equipment from the lockbox - https://strathconacommunity.ca/court-conditions/court-information/
