Participants at the road show stops will experience the following:
The chance to star in their own âHoney, I Shrunk the Kidsâ moment by taking a picture in front of a green screen and choosing a âpestâs eye viewâ background to add to the image.
Find out what invasive pest matches their personality by taking the “What Pest Are You?” [link to quiz] quiz.
Help with a community clean-up to demonstrate how pest management and plant health products can help protect and beautify green areas.
