RSVP: Email joe@cranehollow.org
Details: Crane Hollow will continue our Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) monitoring as we have done for almost the last decade. If you would like background information on HWA, it can be found here at https://ohiodnr.gov/discover-and-learn/safety-conservation/about-odnr/forestry/forest-health/insects-diseases/threat-hemlock-woolly-adelgid .
Like last year we are trying to describe hikes as moderate or difficult. No hikes are easy as the hikes will nearly be entirely off trail, contain uneven terrain, and will likely include several stream crossings. Regardless of what hike you sign up for, there will be ways we can make the route simple or more difficult. We simply want to give folks a better idea of what they might encounter. Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes that can deal with getting wet. Walking sticks are recommended for the rugged and potentially icy terrain. We will lunch out in the field, so bring a sack lunch and beverage with you. We are happy to offer you some hot chocolate, coffee, or tea when you get back to our office. Please sign up for the hikes, by emailing directly to Joe@cranehollow.org. We will plan to meet at 16820 SR 678 Rockbridge OH, 43149 for these hikes. All hikes will run from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Any cancellations due to weather concerns or otherwise will be emailed to participants.
