Have you heard the loud rumble of low-flying planes a little more frequently lately? This is why.
People on Vancouver Island from Victoria to Campbell River may have noticed a few more low-flying planes or helicopters in recent days, as two ongoing projects resume their aerial operations.The ministry says that left untreated the moths can spread to other areas of the province and, along with urban trees, pose a risk to forests, farms and orchards, as experienced in Ontario and the eastern United States in recent years.
Treatments will take place in the Capital Region, Port Alberni, Courtenay and Campbell River and will take place between April 1 and June 30. There are three sprays planned which will take place over two days. Each spray will occur between seven to 10 days apart between mid-May and mid-June.FortisBC is also flying aircraft over the region, but it is using helicopters to survey its gas transmission lines.
