Join Champlain Area Trails and the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) for a hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) educational hike and volunteer Forest Pest Hunter survey training along the Spirit Sanctuary and Black Kettle trails in Westport, NY.

Winter traction like spikes or snowshoes are recommended for this 2-mile moderate outing. We will cover hemlock and HWA identification, and how to report invasive species observations using the iMapInvasives app.

We look forward to working with you to help protect Adirondack forests and communities from the threats of emerging invasive species like HWA.
