Description

The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive and destructive pest that has recently spread to our local area. In this workshop, Girl Scout Gold Award candidate Kate Adams will teach participants how to repurpose common household items to create a low-cost Lanternfly trap that can be deployed on trees in your own backyard. Participants will learn about the invasive spotted lanternfly and how to take action by constructing and setting up their own traps, helping to reduce their population numbers and protect local ecosystems. Trap materials will be provided.

This program is designed and led by High School student and Girl Scout Gold Award candidate Kate Adams and is designed for adults and families with children 8+.
