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.
The fee for this program is only $4.00 per person up to $12.00 per family. Children under the age of three are free.
