Spotted Lanternfly inCamden, NJSPOTTED LANTERNFLY GUIDE
Camden County confirmed SLF in 2019 and is now one of the most heavily infested counties in New Jersey. Sitting directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Camden has been on the front line of SLF spread from Pennsylvania into New Jersey. The PATCO Speedline commuter rail is a major spread vector, and the industrial waterfront's abandoned rail yards are classic Tree of Heaven habitat. Camden County's early confirmation has made it a benchmark site for NJ SLF monitoring.

Tree of Heaven in Camden, NJ
Camden's industrial waterfront and abandoned rail yards are densely colonized by Tree of Heaven — the hallmark TOH-on-disturbed-land pattern that defines early SLF establishment zones. The Delaware River waterfront parks have established TOH populations connecting Camden directly to heavily infested Philadelphia. The PATCO Speedline commuter rail corridor accelerates SLF spread between Philadelphia, Camden, and suburban South Jersey. Cooper River Park's riparian zones provide additional prime habitat.
