Windsor area: this workshop is for you!

Posted on July 10, 2026 by Cassie Russell

Learn about Spotted Lanternfly at one of two workshops hosted by the Invasive Species Centre on Wednesday, July 22

Recent sightings of spotted lanternfly in Essex County emphasize the importance of a shared effort to be aware of this invasive pest that poses a threat to grape growers and the landscape.

The Invasive Species Centre will be holding workshops at the Ojibway Nature Centre, 5200 Matchett Rd., Windsor, on Wednesday July 22, at 9-11 a.m. and repeated at 6:30-8:00 p.m. Participants will learn about spotted lanternfly’s impacts, how it spreads, and how to detect and prevent it.

The workshop is open to grape and tender fruit growers, nursery, greenhouse or garden centre staff, woodlot owners and managers, arborists, landscapers, government and conservation authority staff, students, gardeners, and members of the public.
