The worst invasive insect in 150 years is mobbing the Mid-Atlantic. Spotted lanternfly has been colonizing Pennsylvania and Virginia for several years now, threatening crops, trees, and – with swarms of insects excreting buckets of sticky honeydew – human quality of life. Now, the polka-dotted invader is in New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware, and New York, poised to take a very viscous bite out of the Big Apple.
From Virginians living under the occupation, and Cooperative Extension Agent Mark Sutphin – reluctant host of SLF’s first hop into Virginia – get the down and dewy on SLF, what it’s like to live with the invaders, and what you can do NOW to slow the spread.
This will be a virtual workshop, with time for Q & A. It’s free, but space is limited, and registration is required.
Upon registering, you will be emailed a link to the online event page, through which you can access the Zoom webinar once the event starts. Please make sure you receive the link, and contact us if you have any questions. We cannot guarantee to be available for tech/Zoom problems on the day of the event, so we suggest registering well in advance!
We’ll also sign you up for Sustainability Matters’ email list. We never sell your info, and you may unsubscribe at any time.
