California’s citrus trees are being threatened by the deadly plant disease, Huanglongbing (HLB). To fight HLB, thousands of tiny beneficial insects called Tamarixia radiata are being released in neighborhoods across the state to reduce populations of the Asian citrus psyllid, the pest that carries the disease.  

With rain in the forecast for Saturday, the Drive-Through Document Shredding Event has been postponed to November 14.

Hosted by the City and Waste Management, the free drive-through event will take place from 9-11 am in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.
