Update on Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) at the North London Open Spaces Division

Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath that provided an update on the OPM population and its management at the North London Open Spaces, following the discovery of caterpillars and nests at Queen’s Park and Hampstead Heath in June 2015. Members were advised that the total spend on inspections, admin time and nest removals in 2015 had been £9,480 and this figure was expected to rise year on year as more nests were found and more treatment required.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
