Box Tree Moth Found at Private Residence in Kent County, Delaware
Date Posted: Tuesday, July 16th, 2024Box Tree Moth Found at Private Residence in Kent County, Delaware DOVER, Del. (July 15, 2024) — The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) has confirmed a find of box tree moth (BTM; Cydalima perspectalis) at a private residence in Kent County, Delaware.

Boxwoods are a popular ornamental evergreen shrub common to many landscape environments in the United States. “Box tree moth is an unexpected find in Delaware due to the distance from the only known U.S. detections in New York, Michigan, Ohio, and Massachusetts, with the original introduction in New York in 2021. We are working closely with USDA and University of Delaware Extension to map out the infestations. Still, […]

Town announces 2024 AARP Community Challenge Grant
Date Posted: Wednesday, July 10th, 2024The Town of Milton is pleased to announce that we are a 2024 AARP Community Challenge Grantee! With this quick-action Challenge Grant the Town of Milton will expand on its very well-received Art Crosswalk-ing Tour by adding two additional art crosswalks that promote walking and pedestrian safety and by providing driver education on the location of two highly utilized pedestrian crossings. “We are trying to maintain our small-town feel in the face of rapid population growth and land development. This can be achieved in part through traffic-calming measures that showcase a desire for safe multi-modal traffic, through the expansion of Milton’s reputation as an arts and artisans’ community, and by reminding drivers that because Milton has narrow, 18th century streets, there is a need to adopt driving behaviors that place safety at the forefront when navigating our historic small town environment,” stated Councilwoman Randi Meredith. This is the third […]
