Are you interested in a fun hands-on youth citizen science project this summer that will have an environmental impact in your community? The best part is that you can also do this right in your own backyard. Join the team of heroes called the 4-H Moth Busters and help suppress the population of gypsy moth across the state of Michigan. Join one of two orientation sessions that will be held via Zoom and following that you will be sent the full ePacket of materials that will help you launch into your own self-paced and individual tracking program. There is a recognition program for those who participate in any of the three potential participation levels. This is a great opportunity for a parent or grandparent to offer support and guidance. The orientation sessions will be offered conveniently on either Tuesday June 29th at 2:00 pm or Wednesday, June 30th at 7:00 pm and should last about ½ hour or less. Contact Rebecca Sova at either sovarebe@msu.edu or John Wurm wurmj@msu.edu to register and receive the Zoom link.
Perspective: This is very real to people who suffer with the annual infestation of the gypsy moth. Here is just a single photo of those we receive in our office that give you a mental perspective of this frustration.
