Once again the Marean Lake area is expecting a significant infestation of tent caterpillars this spring. Tent caterpillars are those annoying things that strip deciduous trees of their leaves, crawl on every available surface, spin cocoons everywhere, and generally make life miserable for us. The aerial spraying program undertaken last spring was very successful and the Marean Lake Advisory Committee is once again partnering with the other developments at the lake to repeat it this year.
Depending on weather and other conditions, it is expected the Marean and Greenwater area will be sprayed sometime before the end of May. Spraying will occur in the very early morning hours when winds are the calmest.
