State officials and Cornell experts will share tips with residents on how to combat SLF on their properties\, as well as information on the SLF’s life cycle and what to expect for the rest of this summer and through the fall and winter seasons. The Department of Agriculture and Markets will also showcase its use of drones as one tool in the fight against SLF.
