The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will be taking to the skies once again in May and June, spraying close to 2,500 acres of city and suburban properties to suppress the destructive gypsy moth caterpillar.
A public information meeting is set for Monday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin West Madison Ag Station, 8502 Mineral Point Road, where representatives of the DNR, Dane County Parks and the Dane County Tree Board will outline the spraying plans and the areas to be sprayed.
Twenty-three Dane County locations are set to be sprayed in late May or early June, including 16 sites in Madison.
(The UW campus and the Arboretum are among the proposed treatment sites.)
