Hosted by our partners at the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program PRISM and expert researchers from the New York State Hemlock Initiative to learn all about this damaging invasive insect, understand how to identify HWA in the field, and gain the skills you need to take action to protect local forests. The best way to aid Hemlock forests against the negative impacts of HWA is to find it early before infestations grow out of control.
