Invasive Moth Survey & Eradication
Invasive moths are very damaging to trees and negatively impact the timber industry and the state's trust lands. This funding will enable the agency to conduct spongy moth eradication, trapping and control at locations identified in the 2022 trapping season for the spring and early summer of 2023. (General Fund - Federal, General Fund - State)
Japanese Beetle Eradication
Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica Newman), a federally regulated and destructive pest, have been detected in southeast Washington. This funding will continue eradication efforts into the spring of 2023. (General Fund - State)
