Happy Earth Week! Today is Wildlife Day! Virginia is home to incredible species, but over 90 are endangered. We can help them recover by planting native gardens and keeping our waterways clean for everything from whales to mussels. #fcpsearthweek

Did you know?
A single spotted lanternfly egg mass can contain 30–50 eggs.
Destroying egg masses now can prevent hundreds of lanternflies from hatching later this spring.
Look for egg masses on trees, outdoor furniture, fences and other surfaces.
