080 - Palisade Insectary Tour

The insectary opened in 1945 to rear a biocontrol agent in order to protect our local peaches from the Oriental Fruit Moth. The Insectary now releases and monitors about 20 different species of biological control agents for use against both weeds and insect pests. Led by insectary scientists, the tour will share the history of bio-control of weeds and learn how insects are raised and what they do.
