Spotted Lantern Fly, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid & Elongate Hemlock Scale: Status and Management Options in NH

Come learn about some invasive insect pests in New Hampshire. During this program we will learn about the newest invasive threat to NH, the spotted lantern fly, how to identify it, understand its impact, and learn what to do if you encounter it. We will also provide an update and some management options for two invasive insects that are impacting the health of hemlocks in New Hampshire, the hemlock woolly adelgid and elongate hemlock scale.
