Invasive Species Around Us - HWA

  • Sunday, February 5, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, or HWA, is an invasive insect that is attacking and killing Eastern Hemlock trees in New York State. In April 2021, HWA was found in Oswego County and has been spotted in our neighboring counties, as well. Join our environmental educator for a presentation on what exactly HWA is, how to detect it, and what destruction it can cause to our hemlock forests. The Center has many hemlock trees throughout the trails, so (time permitting) following the presentation, the group will go outside to observe and familiarize with Hemlock trees and talk about signs of HWA.

Fee

Only $4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of three are free.

Philosophy

The best way to learn about ecology is to be out in it! Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center is a laboratory where youth and adults can observe nature first hand, alone or under the guidance of one of the Center’s Environmental Educators. Public programs often feature guest presenters who are recognized leaders in the fields of wildlife management, outdoor education, and botany. It is also the Center’s belief that learning should be fun.
