Sign-up: Receive Burlap Kit for Lymantria dispar dispar (LDD)
Newmarket is giving away a limited number of burlap kits to residents this season to help combat Lymantria dispar dispar (LDD). Installing burlap bands on private and boulevard trees will act as a barrier for LDD caterpillars to travel up the tree to feed on the tree's leaves. Burlap band installation is the most effective when done in the spring as caterpillars will begin to hatch and feed from early May to mid-July.
How to receive a *free burlap kit:
Complete the sign-up form and input the necessary information
Pick a date and timeframe that is convenient for you
Head to the Operations Centre (1275 Maple Hill Court) during the designated day and timeframe you have selected. An email confirmation with your selection will be emailed to you once you sign-up.
Don't forget to bring a piece of ID with your address on it
Head home and install the burlap bands on your trees. Follow the installation guide, or video below for more information on how to properly install the burlap bands.
*Please note that this offer is only available for Newmarket residents / property owners.
You must sign-up prior to picking-up the burlap kits. No walk-ups will be allowed as there are limited quantities
