<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We (Halifax Regional Municipality) are experiencing a particularly bad year for the Japanese beetle. It is voraciously feeding on our right-of-way and park trees, and we are especially concerned about our juvenile trees that have been planted
within the past couple of years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if any municipalities have experience/advice dealing with this. Any information about interventions (or a lack of) that did or did not work is appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
