DNR hosting virtual public meetings to discuss proposed spongy moth treatments

The DNR is hosting two virtual public meetings Monday at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. to discuss proposed spongy moth treatments.

An invasive insect, Spongy moth (Lymantria dispar), causes tree defoliation and kills trees.

While open to the public, meetings are geared towards proposed treatment area residents including LaPorte, Kosciusko, Fulton, Marshall and Starke counties.
