AP advances Bath talk on invasive moth
The Associated Press reported a group of experts will travel to Bath to discuss the effects of the invasive browntail moth on Feb. 22. The moth has the ability to defoliate trees, and has tiny hairs that can cause a rash and respiratory problems in humans, the AP reported. Speakers at the event will include Lynne Holland, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension staff member, and local arborist Kyle Rosenberg. UMaine officials said someone from the medical community also is expected to attend, according to the report. The free talk will take place at 6 p.m. at the Patten Free Library. WABI (Channel 5), The Press of Atlantic City, Argus-Press of Missouri, WRAL of North Carolina and SFGate carried the AP report.
