I have seen it so bad in years past where they eat the pines and even grass if they deplete all the trees. I don't think it will be that bad. My autos look like camouflage.
Our friends in Richmond have bare pine trees and the lawn is now being eaten. We're over in Wakefield; not many gypsy moths, but we have winter moth caterpillars munching on maples and oaks.
