This special activity is a part of Virginia Volunteer Week as well as Earth Day Week activities. We’ll help this part of the planet by making and installing traps for the invasive Spotted Lantern Fly.
The traps are fairly simple to make and all materials and tools are supplied. After making the traps, teams will head out to several pre-designated areas to install them.
