SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Spotting the Spot – Spotted Lanternfly Outreach and Engagement
DESCRIPTION:From the basics of ID to the importance and value of understanding how to report and two steps in the engagement process for spotted lanternfly and other invasive species. Learn how Ohio is transitioning from a spotted lanternfly uninfested state\, to a couple non-contiguous counties with reproducing populations\, with likely more to come. Amy will share how to engage the public\, green industry professionals and others in the search for the spotted lanternfly. Sometimes a message in one state doesn’t necessarily work for another and may even cause some confusion. We will sort it out and stress the importance of everyone looking to spot the spot – Spotted Lanternfly Outreach and Engagement! \n\n\n\nCEUs will be available for participating in the live webinars.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Amy Stone\, Extension Educator\, The Ohio State University
