Press Herald cites UMaine Extension in article on gypsy-moth quarantine

The Portland Press Herald cited a University of Maine Cooperative Extension fact sheet in an article on a proposed gypsy-moth quarantine for the state. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry wants to expand a partial state quarantine established in 2010 to cover the whole state, to make it easier to ship forest products within Maine borders while protecting other gypsy moth-free states, according to the article. Gypsy moths feed on oak, poplar, gray birch and fruit trees, according to the UMaine Extension fact sheet.
