Invasive species

Keep an eye out for the spotted lanternfly. And if you see it, take pictures, kill it, collect it and report it. An infestation of this invasive species can do serious damage to vineyards — and the local economy.

Ash trees are not expected to survive the infestation of the invasive emerald ash borer, while southern pine beetles are devastating pines in Suffolk, and spotted lanternfly infestations, now moving east in Suffolk, pose a threat to vineyards.
