SUMMARY:Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Survey - RTPI and JCC
DESCRIPTION:You Can Help Save Native Trees! \n\nEvery winter\, we conduct Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) surveys across the region. You can help survey hemlock trees at the Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park preserve on February 21\, or Roger Tory Peterson Institute and SUNY JCC on March 7 for the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.\nTo volunteer\, please visit chautauquawatershed.org/events and RSVP for either survey.\nHWA is most visible in winter. In the coldest months\, the aphids go dormant and form cotton-like protective balls at the bases of hemlock needles\, making it easy to observe and diagnose. This dormant period also makes it much less likely for surveyors to accidentally spread HWA from tree to tree by physically touching multiple hemlocks in an area during a survey.\n\nBy surveying local hemlock trees and reporting any HWA we observe on them\, we can help with the implementation of targeted treatment plans to manage the infestations and prevent further spread.

SUMMARY:Little Explorers: Camouflage and Coloration
DESCRIPTION:Little Explorers (Children 3 – 8 with an adult)\nCamouflage and Coloration \nSaturday\, March 14\, 2026\n10:00 – 11:30 a.m. \n$12 Adults; $9 Nature Center members\n$9 Children 3 – 8 \nPaid reservations required by Thursday\, March 12\, 2026. \nJoin Audubon to explore the ways both predators and prey use camouflage as an important survival tool\, whether they are matching the colors and patterns of their surroundings or mimicking other plants or animals. \nThe fur\, feathers\, and shells of many animals are able to blend into the backdrop of the forests and fields\, while other animals take it a step further and mimic the leaves or branches around them. After a short hands-on lesson indoors exploring how animals use different types of camouflage\, head outside to look for signs of those animals and test your own camouflage skills in the forests and fields. \nA snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time. \nSpecial Information: This program takes place rain or shine\, please dress for the weather \nSome animals\, like Katydids\, camouflage by mimicking leaves or other plant parts. Learn more about the types of animal camouflage at ACNC’s Little Explorers on March 14.
