Guided Hike to learn how to help protect Hemlock Trees from Invasive Species March 13, 202111:00 am - 1:00 pm « Webinar: Forest Conservation March Owl Prowl Twilight Walk » Reservations Required You can help protect Hemlock Trees from Invasive Species! Join us and the St. Lawrence-Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO-PRISM) for a guided hike to search for and learn how to report sightings of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (the invasive insect threatening Hemlock Trees) on Saturday, March 13th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Trenton Greenbelt Trails near Barneveld. Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) kills hemlock trees. Hemlocks are a key tree species for healthy forests in the Tug Hill region and elsewhere, and your efforts can make a difference in preventing the spread of this insect. During this field session, you’ll learn how to identify Eastern Hemlock, its role in the forest, how to perform early detection surveys, how to report observations using iMapInvasives mobile app, and how to become a volunteer monitor for THTLT and SLELO. Registration is required. Masks are mandatory, and attendees will social distance in conjunction with COVID19 recommendations. We will be outside for the entire workshop, so participants should dress for the weather Register Here! Attendees are encouraged to make a free iMapInvasives user account and download the iMap mobile app prior to attending the hike.
