Tree Marking Week August 28 - Sept 1, 2023
Are you ready for a truly unforgettable experience that makes a difference in preserving the heart of our ecosystem? We are reaching out to you, our valued community, to join our mission to save the majestic Eastern hemlock trees from the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) and safeguard their future for generations to come.
Become an integral part of our conservation efforts as we embark on an exciting Tree Marking Week. This is your chance to venture into the enchanting forest and contribute to a noble cause while working alongside passionate individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on our natural world.
🌲 What to Expect: You’ll spend your days in the breathtaking woods, measuring trees and marking numbers on flagging tape – a vital task in our effort to combat the HWA invasion. Don’t worry about tools; we’ve got you covered. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance, and we ensure that you have all necessary equipment and guidance.
🏡 Accommodations and Amenities: If you need a place to stay, we offer cozy lodgings for your convenience. Choose between our comfortable farmhouse and lodge, complete with power, linens, Wi-Fi, and fully-equipped kitchens, or experience rustic charm in our off-grid cabins featuring limited solar power, propane stoves for cooking, and wood stoves for warmth.
🌿 Embrace the Journey: Your participation goes beyond saving trees; it’s about being part of a remarkable team effort, making a difference in the lives of these ancient giants. Join us, and together, we’ll leave a legacy of conservation and harmony with nature.
