The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania and the Buffalo Creek Coalition invites you to attend two free upcoming webinars on the spread of hemlock woolly adelgids and aquatic invasive species in Pennsylvania

Oct. 17 - Woolly Adelgids

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid has been spreading rampantly through Pennsylvania forests targeting canopy tree species of Eastern Hemlocks.

Landowners with infested trees on their properties not only experience the loss of a native species but also face property damage if action is not taken to minimize the spread.

Join us to learn about the natural history of HWA, their ecological and economic impacts, their importance to the Buffalo Creek Watershed, and actions you can take to aid the restoration of hemlocks in our region.

The program will be held from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

Nov. 14 - Aquatic Invasive Species

Waterways in western Pennsylvania face a threat of invasion by many aquatic invasive species such as bighead carp, zebra mussels, and water chestnut.

Join Audubon and Master Watershed Steward Coordinator Amber Stilwell from Pennsylvania Sea Grant to learn about the various organisms considered invasive in our waterways and how boaters/anglers can properly care for their fishing equipment to prevent their spread.

The program will be held from Noon to 1:00 p.m.
