Description
- Purpose
- This survey will allow the cooperator to target areas of the state at risk for the introduction of european spongy moth (spongy moth) by placing and maintenance of up to 4,824 delta traps. The establishment of any of this pest would have large negative impacts on the state's forests, tourism, and lumber industry. This is the tenth year of the european spongy moth survey in kentucky; therefore provides an excellent opportunity to conduct the survey and educate various stakeholders about the threat of this invasive pest. 2.

This survey will protect commodities and natural resources important to kentucky and american agriculture. This data will help facilitate safe trade, possibly lead to early detection and eradication of exotic pests, and improve overall plant health in the state. 4. Intended beneficiary(IES): this survey will benefit public and private landowners of forested land. IT will also benefit urban and rural businesses and other beneficiaries of tourism based on forested areas of the state, and lumber industries throughout kentucky that depend on forest products for their livelihood. 5.
