COURT HOUSE – A workshop on rain barrels and water conservation for the home was presented by Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources March 20 at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County.
According to a release, one purpose of the workshop was to show how to conserve rainwater and minimize stormwater run-off at home by using a rain barrel to catch water for gardening purposes.
Kristen Andrada, AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassador explained why homeowners should use rain barrels, how to build a rain barrel, and how to maintain a rain barrel.
The next program offered by the Agriculture and Natural Resources Department of Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County will be a presentation on the Spotted Lanternfly May 9 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County.
This program is part of a new series this year, Informational Talks for the Home Gardener, that will provide free, one hour informational classes for the public.
Guest speaker Joseph Zoltowski, director, Division of Plant Industry, New Jersey Department of Agriculture, will provide information on how to recognize the Spotted Lanternfly and what to do if one is seen.
The Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive planthopper, has been discovered in Berks County, Pa. It is native to China, India, Vietnam, and introduced to Korea where it has become a major pest.
It is believed that this insect has the potential to greatly impact the grape, hop, small fruit, vegetable, and horticultural industries.
