Oak Processionary Moth nests at KGV

Please be aware that Oak Processionary Moths nests have been identified at the KGV Playing Field.

Their presence has been reported to the appropriate authorities, and we are working with a specialist to ascertain the correct, and appropriate, levels of control.

We don’t at present, expect any of the solutions proposed to damage the trees affected.

Currently, the areas around the affected trees have been cordoned off, and warning signs posted, to protect the public.

STAY BACK: 

Keep yourself, children, and pets well away from the infested tree, caterpillars, and any nests.

If your dog or cat gets near them, bathe them thoroughly and immediately contact a veterinarian.

If you have any questions, or associated concerns, please contact Northaw & Cuffley Parish Council on 01707 875825 or email office.manager@northawcuffley-pc.gov.uk .
We appreciate your cooperation while we arrange for the required works to be carried out.
