2026 Spongy Moth Survey Information

It's that time of year again, and our survey crews will be out visiting parcels all around Clare County  performing an analysis of the spongy moth population densities beginning in September, and throughout October.  The population of this invasive species appears to be in a state of decline, but it is imperative that we find any concentrations of nests so that we can have the appropriate areas aerially sprayed to keep the populations controlled to prevent widespread outbreaks and defoliation.

Please contact our office at (989) 539-6401 if you believe your property has active nests, as pictured:

The Clare Conservation District (Clare CD) is a local unit of government that utilizes resources from public and private sectors to bring diverse groups together to solve local resource problems. As stewards of the land, we strive to protect watersheds by conserving forests and reforesting open spaces. We encourage stewardship responsibilities of landowners, and are the prime local source of environmental education.

The Clare Conservation District operates off of grants awarded, county contracts, tree sales, and donations from the community. 

Your generous contributions will help to ensure the health and beauty of Clare County's natural resources both for today and for future generations to come. Every dollar invested in the District goes directly into implementation of hands on conservation projects which will build an environmental legacy we can be proud of. To promote our conservation efforts in the community, consider donating today. 

Volunteer Opportunities ​ Clare Conservation District offers several volunteer opportunities throughout the year, including our spring native tree & plant sales,  September Adopt‑A‑Highway cleanup, scheduled clean up & recyling days, and ongoing projects at the Habitat Education Property & Trails.

We also welcome community members interested in serving as Directors or Associate Directors. Our board meets at 6:30 PM on the third Tuesday of each month at the Pere Marquette District Library, Clare, MI.

To join our volunteer list or learn more, email [email protected] or call (989) 539‑6401 ext. 4.
