What’s got spots all over and totally sucks (tree sap)? It’s the spotted lanternfly, one of Kentucky’s newest invasive pests. Join us as Dr. Jonathan Larson, UK Entomology, teaches about the spotted lanternfly and what it means for your trees.

The battle against the spotted lanternfly is heating up and our trees are on the front lines. Barbara Karsnitz, Kentucky Division of Forestry, will discuss what they are doing to track populations of this new invasive in Kentucky. All this and more tomorrow, 6/3, at 11 a.m. on From the Woods Today. FromtheWoodsToday.com

Great resource for those interested in maple sap collection!

Future Generations University is excited to share a new guide for sugarmakers and forest landowners: “Maple Sap Collection Using Natural Vacuum in 3/16-Inch Tubing.”

This practical resource explores how 3/16-inch tubing systems can improve sap collection efficiency using natural vacuum created by elevation—helping producers reduce costs, increase yields, and better understand the science behind their sugar bush systems.

Whether you’re building a new setup or improving an existing operation, this guide offers valuable insights for producers across Appalachia and beyond.

At Future Generations University, we’re committed to sharing research and tools that support sustainable forestry, agroforestry innovation, and resilient rural economies.
