Hemlocks are under threat! We are seeking dedicated volunteers to join
us in the fight against one of our most destructive (and smallest)
invasive species, the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA)! This tiny insect is
wreaking havoc on our hemlock trees across the Finger Lakes! You can
help us fight HWA by joining us in scouting for it, either on your own
in trails and parks in your area, or by attending one of our workshops.
With a better understanding of where HWA is, we can better plan efforts
to limit its spread, and treat it before its too late.
Types of events:
Presentations - A discussion of HWA, hemlocks, and their importance, no volunteer component
Trainings - Learn over Zoom how to survey for HWA and identify hemlocks on your own time
Workshops - Learn in the field how to survey for HWA and identify hemlocks
