IMPORTANT UPDATES

Gypsy Moth Spraying 2022
Due to increased numbers of gypsy moth egg masses identified during the fall of 2021, the Clare Conservation District has contracted with Al's Aerial Spraying LLC of Ovid, Michigan to help control the spread of gypsy moths.

Property owners were notified by mail that their property was targeted for spraying with an option of opting out of the spraying. The spraying areas are located in townships of: Arthor, Franklin, Freeman, Frost, Garfield, Grant, Greenwood, Hamilton, Hatton, Lincoln, Summerfield, and Surrey.

Weather permitting, the spraying will be completed between May 23rd and June 6th. Townships have been provided with maps of the areas for residents to view. Please stay tuned to Clare Conservation District's Facebook page and Clarecd.org for updates on spraying.

Al's Aerial Spraying will be using a product called Foray 48B, which is OMRI listed (Organic Materials Review Institute). According to the product label, Foray 48B is a product that may be used in certified organic production. For more information on Foray 48B or the area's sprayed in Clare County visit clarecd.org under the gypsy moth tab.
