Spotted Lanternfly inNewburgh, NYSPOTTED LANTERNFLY GUIDE
Orange County confirmed SLF in 2021. Newburgh — a Hudson River city of 28,000 in a county of 400,000 — sits at a major SLF crossroads: the I-84 corridor connecting Connecticut to Pennsylvania passes directly through the region, and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge carries heavy traffic across the Hudson linking Orange and Dutchess counties' confirmed SLF populations. Stewart International Airport's cargo operations represent a secondary spread vector. The adjacent Mid-Hudson Valley wine country — including Brotherhood Winery, America's oldest — faces significant SLF pressure as populations build through Orange County.

Tree of Heaven in Newburgh, NY
The Hudson River waterfront through Newburgh has dense Tree of Heaven populations connecting city populations to the broader Hudson Valley infestation corridor. The I-84 corridor and Newburgh-Beacon Bridge are major SLF transport vectors moving egg masses between confirmed populations in Connecticut, Orange County, and Dutchess County. Stewart International Airport cargo operations add a freight-based dispersal risk. The Mid-Hudson Valley wine trail — particularly Brotherhood Winery and surrounding Orange County vineyards — faces growing SLF economic pressure as populations expand through the region.
