Turner, Maine, United States
Apr 29, 2026
Maine Forest Service officials say browntail moth numbers remain low statewide in 2026, with localized hot spots near Sebago Lake and around Turner/Livermore Falls. The decline is attributed to a fungus and a virus, though another predicted dry summer could affect these natural controls.
