Do you have some extra time on your hands and want to do something that will help out but is also safe during COVID?

You can help enhance invasive species outreach efforts from the comfort of your phone!

We’re needing help conducting an online search for specific businesses (marinas, tackle/bait shops, charter captain fishing services, vineyards, orchards, wine tours), and special groups (tree clubs, outdoor groups)  on Facebook.

We plan to use the information to engage the businesses and groups in a strategic outreach initiative aimed to raise awareness for an invasive agricultural pest that threatens New York’s agricultural and tourism industries called the spotted lanternfly (SLF).
