CANCELLED: Spring Wildflower Walk | Sunday, Apr. 24, 2 pm

Sadly, we have to cancel this walk today. Our expert, Scott Lembitz, has a sick child at home with a high fever. Please do get outside and enjoy our beautiful neighborhood anyway!


We have lovely native wildflowers that bloom only for a short time in and around Craneridge. These “ephemeral” spring flowers and plants are a gem. Learn to identify them, before they fade away. RSVP to jenparglen@gmail.com.

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) Walk & Talk with PRISM

Learn about this invasive insect that puts our Hemlocks at risk.

DETAILS
When: Saturday, March 5, 10 AM to 12 NOON
Where: Exact location in Sprague Brook Park, TBD
Register: Register here, and select the Sprague Brook event. (link takes you to a PRISM registration form.)

HWA is what keeps many on the Woodlands Committee up at night. If our Hemlocks are infected, we are at risk of eventually losing all our Craneridge Hemlocks — similar to Emerald Ash Borer wiping out our Ash trees. HWA has already been found in Zoar Valley, Chestnut Ridge Park, Franklin Gulf, and other areas in WNY.

Learn what you can do to identify this “bad bug” in our neighborhood.

This is not snow. The fuzz is Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, and it may be killing our Hemlocks.
