It's Coming and It's Hungry - It's the Spotted Lanternfly

3/25/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture

​The Spotted Lanternfly, a native of Asia, was transported to our country back in 2014. It has since become established within the keystone state and has begun to spread to other states as well. Susquehanna County has been fortunate enough to avoid this invasive species but will likely see the bug spread to the county in the near future. Join us as we discuss the life cycle of the Spotted Lanternfly as well as the potential damage it can inflict on the ag industry as well as in your backyard.

Long ago, Elk roamed the landscape of Pennsylvania.  Over time as settlers moved in, the Elk herd was reduced and eventually extirpated from the keystone state.  Join us as we discuss the life history of Elk in Pennsylvania and exactly where you can still see one up close!
