I’m a devotee of your plan to repopulate the insect and bird populations. I am in Northeast PA and we are having BIG problems with spongy moths. I am a Master Gardener Volunteer in Pike County and am also in a community that wants to spray for spongy moths (second year infestation). Many of us in my community are split on whether to spray (Bt ) or not. I personally want to aerial spray as my oaks were so compromised this past spring. I’m worried that a second year will just kill my oaks. I know that it will kill other caterpillars as well. We are between a rock and a hard place. Do you have any comments. I would like to be educated as much as possible before I cast my vote in the community decision to spray or not.
"Just worry about the piece of the planet you can influence." Very profound.
Thank you!
