Help us find the Box Tree Moth

The Box Tree Moth is an invasive species recently detected in Ontario and not known to occur anywhere else in North America. We need your help with monitoring this new invasive insect pest. This is a great chance to get some more volunteer experience and to participate in an important citizen science project. 

You can learn more about this project on this Government of Canada website [1]. 

If you are intersted in this project, send us an E-mail [2] by April 10, 2022 and you will be sent a trap kit to the address indicated in your E-mail.
