Invasive species, such as forest pests or invasive plants that impact tree growth, reduce the health of our trees. Community members are invited to join a special guided walk to learn about various invasive species threatening our region, in addition to native trees, and invasive pests that threaten the health of the trees. Participants are encouraged to download the following free mobile apps to get a demonstration on how to use them during the walk, iMapInvasvies , Seek , and iNaturalist . An optional tree pruning demo will be provided at the end of the walk.
The walk will be held rain or shine on Thursday, June 6th from 6-7:30 PM at the Haldane Falls Trail. Meet in the parking lot located behind the Salmon River Hockey Center at 16 Maple Avenue Ext. in Pulaski, NY. The trail is crushed gravel with little to no incline, however, a short portion of the walk will go off the main trail onto a dirt path.
Those interested in joining the event should register at, sleloinvasives.org/events or call 315-522-1258. The event is also posted on the SLELO PRISM Facebook page.
This event is free and hosted by the St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM) and the Village of Pulaski in observance of New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (NYISAW)-a statewide invasive species outreach campaign.
