Weather permitting, the West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Forest Service (USDA-FS), will be making aerial treatment of roughly 2,681 acres to reduce impacts of the spongy moth to forested lands in Morgan County. The spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) was also known as the Gypsy moth.
Treatments of property will take place this first week of May, weather permitting, under the Cooperative State-County-Landowner (CSCL) Suppression Program.
