down, despite no spray.  Gypsy moths are causing the least
amount of damage to trees in New Jersey since the state began
targeting the insects in 1970.  Tree damage was found in
Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Monmouth,
Ocean, Salem, Sussex and Warren counties.  The most damage seen
was in Mullica Township in Atlantic County, which had 344 acres
of mostly moderate defoliation. No spray program was needed this
year due to the low population of bugs.
