Various individuals in the state have stepped forward to help with spreading the word about invasive insects. One particularly impressive volunteer is eleven-year-old home-schooled student, Wyatt Laprise. He attended a training about invasive forest insects and has helped out at various events such as the 2013 Common Ground Fair.
