Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Monitoring Training

Mar 15

March 15, 2010, 03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Meet at the Lewis Education Center in the Botanical Garden.

In partnership with the the Department of Natural Resources, this workshop will train volunteers to identify and report new infestations of hemlock woolly adelgid- an invasive insect pest that threatens
hemlock trees and the biodiversity they support.

The workshops will feature a presentation by Mark Whitmore on the adelgid’s biology and the threat it poses to local hemlock forests. Participants will
visit Beebe Lake to observe hemlock woolly adelgids first-hand and gain experience in detection, monitoring, and reporting protocols. Participants will also have the opportunity to volunteer in the
“Adopt-a-Hemlock” program to conduct surveys and report new infestations in local hemlock forests.
