Saturday was our first official Hemlock Woolly Adelgid survey at the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy Elm Flats Preserve. As you can see, we had a great deal of help combing through hemlock branches in search of the invasive bug. Fortunately, we didn’t find any evidence of the adelgid and all the hemlocks looked to be in beautiful health! Our surveys throughout the area will continue through the rest of January and into February. Be sure to check out our events page, bundle up and join us in this important work!
