  • Scrape for the Grape volunteers likely removed millions of spotted lanternfly eggs to reduce the insect's impact on VA wine and agriculture.

The Scrape and Grape event, returning to Loudoun County on September 23, aims to combat the invasive spotted lanternfly while offering participants a fun, community-driven experience. Hosted by the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy in collaboration with local wineries and breweries, the event encourages attendees to scrape the egg masses of the spotted lanternfly from trees and structures, helping to control the spread of this destructive pest. After the scraping activity, participants can enjoy a grape-themed celebration with food, drinks, and live music at Stone Tower Winery, fostering a sense of community and environmental stewardship.
