Outdoor Walk & Invasive Pest Survey

On behalf of the JCC Sustainability Committee and the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy, all are invited to a survey of the Jamestown Campus and Roger Tory Peterson Institute forests in search of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.

This invasive pest has been documented in Jamestown, including discovery and treatment in JCC's college woods during last year's survey. This insect attaches itself to the branches of Eastern Hemlock trees and feeds on their sap, draining the Hemlocks of their nutrients and slowly killing them over a four-to-10-year period.

RSVP here. Walk-ins are welcome, too.
