Spotted Lanternfly: A Kentucky invasive & how you can help slow the spread
March 7, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Learn about the impacts of the spotted lanternfly. Carl has been with the University of Kentucky for 28 years working to help slow the spread of invasives. He would ideally like to eradicate the invasive but that doesn’t always happen! Knowing that we can’t do this alone, he created a citizen science program to involve concerned citizens in helping us to combat invasive species crossing our borders!
This program will include an indoor presentation followed by an outdoor walk

Hike distance and difficulty: 1-1.5 miles; easy – moderate
