The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) renewed its Notice of Order of Quarantine on January 1, 2023, to help prevent and slow spread of the Spotted Lanternfly first identified in Fairfield and New Haven Counties. This imported insect pest can feed on more than 70 species of plants and has the potential to threaten half of Connecticut trees. For more information on identifying and reporting sightings of this insect species, please see:
Vine Mile-a-minute vine is a highly invasive annual plant from eastern Asia that can quickly cover, outcompete and replace native vegetation, damaging habitat for native plants and animals. Early detection and rapid response are essential for control. Mile-a-minute was first found in Connecticut in Fairfield County in 1997. Since then, it has spread to 20 Connecticut towns, as far east as Stonington and as far north as Simsbury. Mile-a-minute spreads by seed and quickly grows into dense stands. Seeds are spread by wind and water.CC :: IWC :: Tools :: About CACIWC ::Publications :: Support CACIWC ::: Links :: Legislation :: Events
