Spotted Lanternfly inCamden County, NJSPOTTED LANTERNFLY GUIDE
Camden County — with Camden City as county seat, directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia — is one of New Jersey's earliest confirmed SLF counties, established in 2019. The county is deeply integrated into the Philadelphia metro freight and commuter network: Route 38, I-295, and the NJ Turnpike carry constant freight traffic that reinforces SLF populations from neighboring Pennsylvania counties. Cherry Hill Township is a major retail and logistics hub whose distribution corridors are prime SLF spread vectors. The PATCO Speedline rail into Philadelphia provides a daily commuter corridor that has facilitated SLF movement across the Delaware River since establishment. Cooper River Park and the Camden Waterfront face sustained infestation pressure through the growing season.

Tree of Heaven in Camden County, NJ
Tree of Heaven is established along the Delaware River waterfront and major freight corridors throughout Camden County, particularly Route 38, I-295, and the NJ Turnpike approaches. The Cooper River Park corridor has Ailanthus populations in park margins and adjacent road right-of-ways that fuel SLF establishment through the suburban interior. Camden Waterfront's urban margins and the Cherry Hill retail and distribution corridor are additional high-priority ToH and SLF monitoring zones in this densely developed county.
