Invasive species like spotted lanternfly, elm zigzag sawfly, box tree moth, and beech leaf disease are not yet considered to be well established in the St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Region, as well as in other parts of New York State. Detecting the presence of invasive species before their populations grow or spread helps to reduce their impacts. You can help aid early detection efforts by learning how to recognize these invasive species and joining early detection efforts occurring in the region and across the state. Hear from experts with the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to learn about these species, as well as, from SLELO PRISM on how you can aid early detection efforts in the SLELO region and beyond.

This webinar is hosted by the St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM) and presented by:

• Thom Allgaier, NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets
• Maria MoskaLee & Liam Somers, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
• Megan Pistolese-Shaw, SLELO PRISM
