Marc,

It was great seeing you and Alice.  I'd brought some gloves for weeding, but
inadequate clothes to deal with muddy situations from all the rain.  Sorry I
couldn't join you for any removal actions and that time didn't allow for
even getting to the edges of Swan Park.  I had walked it earlier and sure
looked better from when I lived in MD!  Do you happen to know the identity
of the bug creating webbing within ailanthus seed heads?  I saw some at the
tops of trees at Chapman's.  There was an even higher density of looked like
the same webbing in seed heads of ailanthus at one of my phenology reporting
locations here in I - I attached a picture of an infested seedhead.

Just as FYI, I also attached a copy of the monthly invasive report put out
within IL.  Most the SW IL reporting is from me.

Sharon

Hi Chapman Forest champions,

This applies to us too. So let us start saving our crops from Ailanthus.
Sources of funding can include a combination of agricultural and
environmental funding such as from DNR and USDA. How about a combination of
10K from each and see how it goes? The  work needs to include follow up the
following year for the juvenile trees of heaven that pop up when the parent
tree is dead. They are easily removed by hand.

Hi Dawn and Colleen,

Justification for removing all the Ailanthus to save our Hyattsville
residents from losing their grape vines and tree-fruit. Ailanthus as the
preferred host for Lycorma delicatula, commonly known as the Spotted
Lanternfly (SLF), is a new invasive insect that has spread throughout
southeastern Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. SLF
presents a significant threat to Pennsylvania agriculture, including the
grape, tree-fruit, hardwood and nursery industries, which collectively are
worth nearly $18 billion to the state's economy.

ITrees felled to fight Pennsylvania's spotted lanternfly invasion

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture removed 500 trees of heaven in
Washington Township on Wednesday, a move that aims to trap and kill the
invasive insects.
