Survey, celebrate and protect our region’s hemlock forests at HemlockPalooza! Winter is the best time for searching for hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), an insect pest that attacks this important—and beautiful—tree. We’ll conduct a short survey of the hemlock stand around Gilbert Lake, followed by a cozy fireside celebration with warm drinks and light snacks.
HemlockPalooza is part of OCCA’s Winter Invasive Species Challenge. You do not have to be in the challenge to attend, and no prior experience is needed to join. We’ll provide you with everything you need to know!
