Landowners are being faced with the challenge of numerous invasive insects changing their wooded landscape. Which insects should you be on the lookout for? What can you do? We will explore the insects that are here in Ohio and look at one that is in a nearby state. Then we will explore the wooded area at Big Creek Park to see the impacts of some of these insects.
