Join me for demonstrations of hands-on things you can do to help protect yard trees from spongy moth defoliation. 

• Learn to identify spongy moth egg masses

• Survey spongy moth egg masses to predict defoliation 

• Destroy egg masses

• Trap tiny caterpillars soon after they hatch: Make a sticky barrier band  

• Trap larger caterpillars as they crawl up the trunk to feed: Make a burlap band trap
