    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,sans-serif; color: #1f497d;">There are a number insects and diseases in the pipeline that will add to those such as Dutch Elm and Beech canker. Emerald Ash borer has left vast areas of skeletal tree remains in Ontario and western Quebec where ash trees used to dominate. If Eastern Hemlock is mostly removed from the equation and spruce budworm is left unchecked my question would be, what do you foresee the composition of Nova Scotian forests to be in 20 years? Are we looking at large areas where cherry and birch dominate until fir and spruce regrow and maple, oak and Yellow Birch become the only hardwood trees of any size?</span></p>

     <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &#39;Tahoma&#39;,sans-serif;">&#160; &#160; The discussion has already strayed far from the original topic of Lyme disease so I will continue this journey by throwing in some general thoughts about Hemlock and Yellow Birch; based on casual observation. &
