Saskatchewan reconsiders Dutch Elm Disease funding

As a follow up to an earlier story, the province of Saskatchewan has reconsidered cutting all Dutch Elm Disease funding.

The government has decided to reinstate a portion of the funding so Dutch elm trees outside of cities will continue to be monitored.

However, the province will no longer foot the bill for removing trees that are identified as having the disease. Rural municipalities will be responsible for their removal.
