Join us for a guided walk on Thursday, March 16th, 10 am to 12:30 pm, at the Salmon River Falls Unique Area near Altmar, NY, and learn to recognize and report Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) – an invasive insect the size of a poppy seed threatening hemlock trees. The Eastern Hemlock is a key tree species found throughout Tug Hill that provides many benefits for people and nature. Detecting the presence of HWA early on provides enough time to protect infested trees and helps to stop the spread to new areas. Trainers will help participants learn how to identify an Eastern Hemlock, identify and survey for HWA, and report observations using their smartphone through a free mobile application called iMapInvasives (a community science tool).
