Penn State Master Gardeners Talk on Invasive Species

Penn State Master Gardeners will present the following talk - "Poison Hemlock, Hogweed, and Lanternfly: OH MY! - A Look at Invasive Species" - at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10.

Learn about dangerous and destructive invasive species, how to identify them, understand the problems they cause, and know what to do if you spot them.

Spotted Lanternflies are on the move and Poison Hemlock has been found in multiple locations in our county. From obnoxious plants and troublesome insects, this interactive presentation will prepare you to battle these pests.

The class is presented by the Master Gardeners’ new coordinator, Joy Wilson. She is also a former biology teacher, and a shepherd on her family’s 5th-generation farm.

The event is free and open to the public.
