Hemlock Conservation Event
Saturday, April 1 | 10 - 12 PM

Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) is an invasive pest threatening eastern hemlock trees up and down the east coast.
Learning how to identify and track hemlock woolly adelgid is the first step in protecting trees in your own yard and at your favorite parks and preserves. We will teach you how to find HWA and take a walk to show all the work we are doing to protect the Huyck Preserve's hemlock forests.
This is a free event.

Earth Day Events
​Saturday, April 22

​
Bittersweet Volunteer Activity
10 AM - 12 PM

Looking for a way to help the planet this Earth Day? Come to the Preserve and join us in our efforts to clear Asiatic bittersweet. Bittersweet leads to tree death when it climbs, girdles, outcompetes, and topples trees.
Your help can make a real difference!
This is a free event.

​
Spring Tree ID Hike
12:30 - 2 PM

Looking to explore the beauty of the forest this Earth Day? Follow award-winning author, arborist, and tree expert Bill Logan on a leisurely walk to learn about early spring tree identification and tree architecture. Bill's expert eye will point out forest features that even our most frequent visitors may not have noticed.
​
Suggested donation of $5; members and children under 12 free

Those interested in attending both the Bittersweet Volunteer Activity and the Tree ID Hike are encouraged to pack a lunch to enjoy between the events.
