MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS City of Winnipeg urban forestry workers cut down Dutch Elm Disease (DED) marked trees in Assiniboine Park on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025. The team does more DED management in the winter, as riverbank access is easier and the elm bark beetles that spread the fungus are overwintering. Standup. Winnipeg Free Press 2025
