Saturday, January 15, anytime between 11:00 a.m. – Noon
Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center Pavilion

With the onset of winter, the adult Spotted Lanternflies have died. But they have left behind the next generation in thousands of egg masses, each one containing 30 to 50 eggs.

Join experts Tony Cullen from the USDA and Carolyn Rubinfeld from NJ DEP on Saturday, January 15 to learn how to spot these egg masses and effective ways to destroy them.

The program will take place at the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center Pavilion. Stop by any time between 11:00 and Noon. Our experts will point out real egg masses and demonstrate how to crush them. Wear boots and dress warmly. The program will take place outside the Visitor Center and focus on several trees along the service road. Bring binoculars if you have them to spot higher up egg masses.

We hope you will take this new-found knowledge back to your own home and help stop the spread of this destructive insect pest.

Masks are recommended for the program. Masks are required inside the Visitor Center which is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
