Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Walk & Talk Survey POSTPONED TO FRIDAY 1/27 January 26, 202310:00 am - 12:00 pm « 2023 First Day Fun Outing at Blake Sanctuary *Postponed to Friday 2/10* Protect Hemlocks in Forest Park » We’ve opted to postpone our event one day to Friday, 1/27 due to the hazardous weather outlook. Should be better travel with fresh snow and partly cloudy skies for a Friday outing! Take note that our last HWA walk for the season is scheduled for Thursday, February 9th (alternate date 2/10) at Forest Park in Camden, NY. Join us for a guided walk at the Trenton Greenbelt near Holland Patent, NY, on Thursday, January 26th and learn to recognize and report Hemlock Woolly Adelgid HWA (or the lack thereof) – an invasive insect that kills hemlock trees. This is the third of four informational survey outings being held in the Tug Hill region this winter in partnership with the St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM). 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 the Eastern Hemlock, survey for HWA and report observations using their smartphone through a free mobile application called iMapInvasives (a community science tool).
