St. Clair County Parks is hosting a free workshop on April 29th from 6 to 8 p.m. at Goodells County Park to teach residents how to build traps for the spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect recently spotted in nearby Macomb County. The lanternfly threatens local crops, especially fruit plants like grapes. Participants will learn to identify the insect, its life cycle, and how to build traps using materials provided. The workshop also covers how to spot tree of heaven, a common host for the pest. Pre-registration is required.
