This project includes a block of about 11,784 acres of national forest land on the Laurentian district. All treatment on national forest lands would be with disparlure, a mating disrupter. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture led public involvement on the project. For more information see http://www.mda.state.mn.us/gmtreatments
