Kelleys Island State Park Campground and Kelleys Island Field Station host Science Saturdays. Last Saturday, July 30th, 2022, the topic was Spotted Lanternfly.
Campers,
residents,
and visitors
had an opportunity to learn about Spotted Lanternfly,
infestations present in Ohio, host plants of the invasive pest
and its potential impact on grape vines.
