SUMMARY:Tug Hill Explorer Backpack Program: Hey! What's that Bird?
DESCRIPTION:Birds are everywhere\, but how much do you really know about them? Come to the Didymus Thomas Memorial Library in Remsen on Tuesday\, April 11th to find out more about what makes birds special\, how birdwatchers identify different birds\, and how we can all help birds thrive. We’ll use contents of the new Tug Hill Birding Explorer Backpack to learn about common local birds – their names\, where to look for them\, what they eat\, where they build nests – and play a game of Bird Bingo to practice our new knowledge. Then we’ll take a walk near the library to see what birds we can see and hear. We’ll finish up by starting a birding journal to document your day that you can take with you and continue to use on your future birding adventures. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Salmon River Falls Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Survey Training Walk and Talk
DESCRIPTION: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.

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). \nPrior to attending\, participants should follow these steps: \n\nVideo Tutorial \nMake a Free iMapInvasives User Account \nDownload the Free iMapInvasives Mobile App \n\n  \nRegister Here
