Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 17th of April.
Good morning, Lancaster.
🎓 Education
OSU Extension tells local foragers to check that morel mushrooms are real before eating them because false morels can make you very sick, and urges people to get permission before foraging on private land and to wear hunter orange during turkey season.
Botanist Jim McCormac also said that Confederate violets help pollinators so they should not be harmed by chemicals.
🌲 Environment
Today the Ohio Department of Agriculture urged residents to inspect their patio furniture, grills + vehicles for egg masses of the spotted lanternfly that will soon hatch, and to remove them by scraping and soaking in soapy water.
The agency noted that while the bugs harm plants, they do not pose a risk to people or pets.
