Forest Pest Hunter Field Training @ Black Kettle Farm Trail

Join Champlain Area Trails and the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) for a hemlock woolly adelgid field survey training.

Refresh your winter outing safety skills while learning to identify hemlock trees, survey for hemlock woolly adelgid, and report your findings using iMapInvasives.

Winter hiking gear (snowshoes and/or microspikes) may be required for this event, depending on the conditions.

DIRECTIONS: Black Kettle Farm is located at Cook Rd. and Leaning Rd. in Essex. From Whallonsburg, go west on Cook Rd. (across from the Grange) and go 1.75 miles. Just before Leaning Rd, you’ll see the Black Kettle Farm’s barn on your left. Park there or on Leaning Rd.
