This spring, the City of Mississauga is conducting an aerial spray to manage high-population levels of LDD (Lymantria dispar dispar) in areas where severe leaf loss is expected from caterpillar feedings.
The City’s Forestry division is planning to conduct LDD (aka Gypsy Moth) Supply Giveaways for the public at 4 locations across the city. These events will occur in the month of May, prior to the bulk of LDD caterpillar hatching and in time for residents to take action on their own properties to reduce the impact of LDD.
Residents will have the opportunity to sign up for the giveaways through an Eventbrite link that we will distribute through the dedicated ‘tree pest email list’, which has been promoted throughout the run up to the Aerial Spray.
Details of each event are as follows:
Ward 8 - South Common Community Centre (Wednesday, May 18th, 5-7pm)
Ward 2 - Clarkson Community Centre (Tuesday, May 31st, 5-7pm)
SOUTH COMMON COMMUNITY CENTRE & LIBRARY REDEVELOPMENT
The City is redeveloping the South Common Community Centre and Library in 2024 to meet the needs of the community.
