Oct. 17 - Woolly Adelgids
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid has been spreading rampantly through Pennsylvania forests targeting canopy tree species of Eastern Hemlocks.
Landowners with infested trees on their properties not only experience the loss of a native species but also face property damage if action is not taken to minimize the spread.
Join us to learn about the natural history of HWA, their ecological and economic impacts, their importance to the Buffalo Creek Watershed, and actions you can take to aid the restoration of hemlocks in our region.
The program will be held from Noon to 1:00 p.m.
