We have been informed by the Golf Club that they have discovered Oak Processionary Moth Caterpillars on a number of their oak trees. The club have instructed a contractor to remove the nests that have been spotted.
The Residents’ Association have been reviewing the trees in their ownership. We have identified one case of the caterpillar situated in the centre of a wooded area in Blue Barn Lane.
The Association have also been made aware of a number of cases within residents’ properties.
We would urge you to review any oak trees you may have in your garden and report any sightings to the Forestry Commission, please click here.
If you come across the caterpillars or their webbed nests please do not touch them. Keep children and pets away as contact can cause itching and skin rashes.
