Workshop:
Spotted Lantern Fly - What's Going On??
October 18, 2019
The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive species native to Southeast Asia. In 2014 it was found in Pennsylvania, and has since spread to 14 counties which are now quarantined.
The Spotted Lanternfly presents a significant threat to Pennsylvania agriculture, including the grape, tree-fruit, hardwood and nursery industries. Learn the history, economic danger, current quarantine area, and life cycle of this invader. Learn about controls, herbicide treatments, and 'trap' trees.
To learn what can be done, attend a workshop geared to farmers, anyone else who has fruit bearing crops, and Conservation Districts in the path of this invasive insect.
