Talk on winter and gypsy moths

Gypsy moth

The outbreaks of gypsy moths in Massachusetts have been building for several years, and 2016 saw the largest in 35 years. Hear about the progress being made with biological controls and get an update on the spread of these insects in New England from Joe Elkinton, professor of entomology in the Department of Environmental Conservation at UMass-Amherst, on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Bemis Hall. Elkinton’s lab researces population dynamics and biological control of invasive forest insects, with a current focus on biological control and population dynamics of the winter moth, hemlock woolly adelgid and black oak gall wasp. Anyone with questions may contact Jane at llct@lincolnconservation.org or 781-259-9251. The event is free and open to all.
