The Burlington County Park System and Rutgers Cooperative Extension are joining efforts to remove Spotted Lanternfly egg masses from trees throughout the County before they hatch.
Residents can sign up to volunteer and receive a “Beat the Bug” plastic card to use to remove egg masses, as well as a time sheet to record the locations where the egg masses were located and destroyed.
To sign up, go to https://secure.rec1.com/NJ/burlington-county-nj-/catalog?filter=c2VhcmNoPTE0MDE1NjE
