TENT CATERPILLARS
INFEST GREY -BRUCE
The Grey -Bruce area can expect an
infestation of forest tent caterpillars this
year, according to the Ministry of Natu-
ral Resources.
"Our surveys of egg masses done in
conjunction with the Canadian Forestry
Service indicate that Keppel Township
will be the hardest hit," says John Lam-
bie, forest management supervisor with
the ministry in Owen Sound.
"Sizeable populations have also
been identified in portions of Sullivan,
Bentinck, Euphrasia, and Holland
Townships. There may be some spo-
radic outbreaks elsewhere too."
The caterpillar feeds on the leaves of
hardwood trees such as maple, oak, ash,
poplar, and birch. It is not the same
insect that makes silken tents in fruit
trees, hawthorns, and choke cherries.
"To determine if you have a problem
or not, count the number of egg masses
on a representative host tree," Lambie
says. Fact sheets are available from the
Ministry office in Owen Sound explain-
ing what to look for and how to conduct
the counts.

outbreaks, contact Tree Watch mem-
bers Rae Maclntyre at 376-0859, Ian
