CONSTANTIA, N.Y. — First discovered in September 2014 in Pennsylvania, the invasive spotted lanternfly (SLF) has already spread to six states. It poses a particular threat to grapes, tree fruits, and hops. It also feeds on maples, as well as on many non-woody plants. Last year this native of China was confirmed in 8 New York counties, including Monroe and Yates.
The St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM) and Cornell Cooperative Extension are pleased to present a half-day SLF workshop on Wednesday, March 13th from 1pm-4pm at the Constantia Town Hall on 14 Frederick Street.
The class is free and open to the public. Please pre-register by emailing Megan Pistolese, SLELO PRISM Outreach Coordinator, at megan.pistolese@tnc.org
