The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that feeds on a wide range of fruit, ornamental and woody trees. If allowed to this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard, logging, and even our tourism industries. SLF is considered a high priority prevention species on a regional and national level. SLELO PRISM has developed an outreach strategy that provides a targeted and measurable approach geared towards behavioral change. This approach engages local businesses and their customers who are most likely traveling from known SLF quarantine areas to recreate in New York. If you are a charter captain, marina or tackle/shop owner, a campground manager, or waterfront business in the counties of Oneida, Oswego, Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties we want to collaborate with you! Please join us and learn how you can help with this outreach effort.
