Hemlock Hunters Volunteer Training

Winter seems an unlikely time for insect hunting, but it’s the best time for looking for hemlock woolly adelgid, a tiny invasive insect that threatens our region’s majestic—and very important—hemlock trees. Learn how to identify hemlock trees and the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), and how to survey for HWA and report your findings. You will also have the opportunity to sign up for a trail to survey. The training will take place both in and outside, so please dress for the weather. Co-sponsored by OCCA, The Clark Foundation/Mohican Farm, and Butternut Valley Alliance. Program takes place at the Morris Fire Department, 117 East Main Street, Morris. To register for this free program, go to occainfo.org
