[ARCHIVED] VCE Loudoun Master Gardeners Present: Hard to See, but the Spotted Lanternfly is Still Here

MG Virtual Lecture Series - January (Facebook Post (Landscape)) (Square)

The Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) is still a threat, even despite the chill of winter. Knowing the SLF life cycle and understanding 200 Growing Degree Days (GDD) helps us determine how to proactively target the SLF. At this virtual event, we will train our eyes to spot SLF egg masses in the wild! Learn how to identify the Spotted Lanternfly's egg masses and discover steps you can take to reduce SLF's impact in Loudoun County.
