We are excited to announce two upcoming workshops focused on spotted lanternfly (SLF) identification, monitoring, and management in North Carolina.
These events, in Surry and Henderson Counties, will provide the grape community with practical information on recognizing tree of heaven, SLF life stages, understanding current distribution and risk, and preparing vineyard systems for monitoring efforts later this season.
