ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and partner organizations have rescheduled two open houses on proposed gypsy month suppression treatments in St. Louis and Carlton counties. The purpose of the open houses is to give residents the opportunity to learn more about the invasive insect. The public will learn more about MDA’s efforts to slow the spread of the gypsy moth.

According to a press release, two open houses, in Cloquet and Boulder Lake area, originally scheduled for February 29 will now be held on Monday, March 26. The informational meetings were postponed due to a snow storm in the northeastern part of the state.

The open house at the Boulder Lake Environmental Learning Center, 7328 Boulder Dam Rd., Duluth will be held from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and the Cloquet open house will be held at the Cloquet Public Library, 320 14th St., in Cloquet from 4:00 p.m.
