Trap set up in Mark S. Burnham parkSet up by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, these contraptions which you may have seen around the Patch house a trap to catch the Emerald ash borer.
These green beetles are native to Asia and were accidentally introduced to North America in the 1990s. They are an invasive species and highly destructive to Ash trees.
Already, the Emerald ash borer has killed nearly 30 million Ash trees in North America and the losses are estimated in the tens of millions of dollars.

The Trent Valley Literacy Association (TVLA), which has been in Peterborough for more than 30 years, is a non-profit organization. It was formed to help adults in the Patch gain reading, writing, basic math and computer skills needed to live and work successfully in the community. The TVLA offers many programs, ranging from one-to-one to classroom learning.
TVLA held a yard sale fundraiser last weekend as they rely on donations to keep the project running. They are also always looking for volunteers who can share some time to tutor others. TVLA is located at 139 Douro Street, next to reBOOT.
