The Town of Shaunavon has hired KBM Resources Group to complete  a Dutch Elm Disease survey in the community.

Ron Phillips is The Director of Operations for the Town of Shaunavon. He says, "Well, they're going to go around and see if there's any stressed trees or whatever. And if they are stressed, then they'll pull a sample off the tree and send it away. They are also looking for Dutch Elm infractions, so if you've got elm wood piled in your yard."

Phillips says a survey was done last year and things were good.

KBM personnel will be starting the survey on Monday and it should take about a day and half to complete.
