Join us this week as we welcome Tammara Van Ryn, recently retired Director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP), and an expert in invasive species management across the six-million-acre Adirondack region. Tammara shares her passion for protecting our natural landscapes and discusses the challenges posed by invasive species, particularly the notorious hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA). Tune in to learn how you can get involved in protecting Lake George and Adirondack forests and ensure the longevity of these incredible ecosystems. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review!
