Where is your favorite perch to watch the dazzling display of maritime lights and revelry floating slowly past on the Long Island Sound?
Everyone is invited to join in the fun and watch the beautifully illuminated boats parade through New Rochelle Harbor from Hudson Park to Neptune Park. There are plenty of places to watch the parade along the New Rochelle coastline. The annual event is every bit as much fun to watch as it is to participate in. The parade will begin at 8:30 p.m on July 29. The rain date is July 30. Thes bugs are currently in Chester Heights as the Red Nymph If you see them, kill them and report to NYS Dept of Agriculture - see below. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has confirmed Westchester County is considered infested with Spotted lanternfly Risk to the State of New York SLF pose a significant threat to New York's agricultural and forest health. Adults and nymphs use their sucking mouthparts to feed on the sap of more than 70 plant species. This feeding by sometimes thousands of SLF stresses plants, making them vulnerable to disease and attacks from other insects. SLF also excrete large amounts of sticky "honeydew," which attracts sooty molds that interfere with plant photosynthesis, negatively affecting the growth and fruit yield of plants. New York's annual yield of apples and grapes has a combined value of $358.4 million, which could be greatly impacted by SLF. The full extent of economic damage this insect could cause is unknown at this time. Although native insects also secrete honeydew, the size of SLF and the large populations that congregate in an area result in large accumulations of it. The sticky mess and the swarms of insects it attracts can significantly hinder outdoor activities. In Pennsylvania, where SLF populations are the densest, people can't be outside without getting honeydew on their hair, clothes, and other belongings. How You Can Help
