ERADICATION EFFORTS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN SOON IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, FOLLOWING THE CONFIRMATION OF EUROPEAN GRAPEVINE MOTHS, WHICH WERE TRAPPED IN THE OVER THE PAST YEAR. 2-MOTHS WERE FOUND IN TRAPS IN APTOS AREA, NEAR WATSONVILLE. THAT IS NOW A PROPOSED QUARANTINE AREA, LIKELY ADDING SANTA CRUZ TO THE 8-OTHER COUNTIES THAT THE MOTH HAS BEEN FOUND IN. PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE BEING SCHEDULED, AND WILL BE HELD BEFORE ANY ERADICATION PROGRAM BEGINS.
