TOPSHAM — An invasive insect is here in Maine, and it may reach your backyard. What is the outlook, and why should we be concerned?
Charlene Donahue, a forest entomologist, will speak about winter moths at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26 at the Topsham Public Library.
Donahue, who is responsible for the statewide forest insect surveys, will describe what we can do, where the moth has been detected so far and how we can help spot the signs of emerging populations.
The program is sponsored in partnership with Topsham Public Library, Cathance River Education Alliance, the Brunswick Topsham Land Trust and the Maine Forest Service.
