    Bee-Friendly Flowers: Snakeroot

    One of the last natives to flower, white snakeroot (Ageratina altissima) is a late-season boon to hungry pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths. Its frothy white disc flowers bloom from late summer through fall and provide vital nectar and pollen before the weather turns cold and food becomes scarce.

    Spotted Lanternfly: Beat that Bug!

    In 2014, an unusual, but beautiful insect was discovered in Berks County, Pennsylvania, and it wasn’t long before residents of neighboring counties began to see the same bright flashes of red and spotted wings in their yards and parks. We hope that this lesson plan will allow you to learn not just the facts about these insects, but also how you can help us to protect our native environment!
