Voter Information on Mileage Wording: ​https://www.clarecountycleaver.net/stories/beemer-fritzinger-and-kingsbury-clarify-ballot-language,1279?

Gypsy Moth Spraying was completed May 27, 2020. If you received a letter in the mail in February or March you were included in the spray blocks. Several properties qualified to be treated based on the Fall Counts. Unfortunately, we could not treat everyone due to lack of funding. The Gypsy Moth millage ended in 2004 and the funding was the remaining balance.
The County Commissioners have placed a Gypsy Moth millage on the ballot for November 3rd up to one Mill. Fall Egg Masses will be counted this Fall. If there is funding available we will treat in the Spring 2021 based on the Egg Mass counts.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience, 
Thank you for your support and patience as always,
Clare Conservation District Board
Melissa Townsend, District Manager

Please contact staff via email if you have any questions or need assistance
