## Resource

Scientists in Vermont are deliberately infecting young elm trees with Dutch elm disease to breed resistant survivors—aiming to resurrect the iconic elms that once lined streets and riverbanks across North America. Parallel efforts in Canada, like the Elm Recovery Project in Guelph, are accelerating natural evolution to help elms coexist with the deadly fungus. These trees aren’t just beautiful—they’re vital for stormwater management and urban shade, making their loss a major ecological blow. As the disease spreads to cities like Edmonton and Saskatoon, urgent management tactics are needed, including pruning bans and rapid removal of infected trees. The dream? A future where resilient, disease-resistant elms once again thrive in our communities, thanks to decades of patient, science-driven restoration.
