HEMLOCK WOOLLY ADELGID

WINTER MAPPING CHALLENGE


The Seneca Lake Pure Waters Association is partnering this winter with Finger Lakes PRISM to survey the Seneca Lake watershed for invasive species that are attacking our Hemlock trees. Hemlock Woolly Adelgid is an aphid-like insect that is very small, but can be easily identified by the white woolly masses they form on the underside of branches at the base of the needles.


Learn to identify the HWA with the help of Matt Gallo of Finger Lakes PRISM, who will provide a training online on March 6th at 6:00pm. Please sign up for the training by completing the survey below. If you do not wish to participate in the training, but have hemlock trees on your property, please fill out the survey below to help us identify the location of the hemlock trees in our watershed.

The four projects were proposed by Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) throughout the Seneca Lake watershed late last year and are scheduled for implementation in Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2023.

The Ontario County SWCD will be working with two local landowners to design, install and maintain structural erosion control best management practices (BMPs) such as water and sediment control basins, water control structures and wetland enhancement.
