Dane County Parks, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the City of Madison, the City of Sun Prairie, and the Dane County Tree Board, is hosting a public information forum on the 2018 Gypsy Moth Suppression Program in Dane County. The forum will provide valuable insights into the biology and life cycle of the gypsy moth, as well as strategies for managing and controlling this tree pest. The program aims to reduce the detrimental effects caused by gypsy moths, such as defoliation and tree mortality, and address allergic reactions experienced by some individuals. The Gypsy Moth Suppression Program will involve the application of Foray, a bacterial insecticide containing Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk), via a low-flying airplane in designated treatment blocks. Btk is a naturally occurring strain of soil bacteria that is safe for people, animals, and insects other than caterpillars. Landowners and residents within the proposed treatment blocks have the option to request the exclusion of their properties from the program. Detailed information about the treatment blocks and the process for requesting exclusion can be found on the Dane County website and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website.Generated from the website
