Trees

Trees both help us to prevent and adapt to climate change. Trees sequester carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas, which helps to reduce climate change by acting as a carbon sink. They also help mitigate our rising temperatures by providing shading, which can lower temperatures by 20-45 degrees.

Spotted Lantern Fly

Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive insect that has spread throughout Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. SLF feeds on the plant sap of many different plants including grapevines, maples, black walnut, and other important plants in PA. If you see SLF, help us stop it in its tracks! To report a sighting, use our reporting tool below or call Penn State Extension's hotline at 1-888-422-3359.
