Join us for an educational presentation, followed by a Q&A with Cornell Researcher and Biologist Nicholas Dietschler, and local resident and hemlock monitor Ben Kern. Our hemlock stands are at risk due to the hemlock wooly adelgid (HWA), but Cornell’s Hemlock Initiative is working to develop strategies to protect our trees and combat HWA, and citizen scientists like Ben are helping to monitor and report on changes in our forests. Come learn about their work, and discover ways that you can help support the hemlocks on your land and in our area as a whole.
