For the first time, the map is available as an interactive GIS-based map, for which a broadband Internet connection is recommended. Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone for that area.

New Invasive species Alert!
The Box Tree Moth (BTM) is an exotic insect pest native to North China and Korea which poses a threat to boxwood plantings. BTM first appeared in New York State in 2021, and just recently has been reported in Webster. Photo shows the caterpillar stage and what damage to boxwoods looks like. If you see this in your yard, NYS DEC asks that you report it via a survey link (below).
