April 15 - July 15 is the high risk period for spreading oak wilt.
Do not injure oaks during this period, if red oaks are wounded then the damaged areas on trees should be painted. If forest management harvests must occur then the outer couple inches of the cut stump of red oaks should be painted. This precaution should also be followed when ROW line clearing work results in the cutting of red oaks.
