As browntail moths emerge, Waterville launches experiment to limit exposure

MORNING SENTINEL • July 10, 2023

Those visiting four city parks in the next few days might see some unusual-looking light structures made of canvas stretched across wooden frames. No one should touch or handle the structures, which are part of a test project to determine how limiting certain kinds of light might reduce browntail moths in the city. The goal is to help the city and surrounding communities find low- or no-cost ways to limit exposure to browntail moths.
