Protect Our Trees From Invasive Insects:
A workshop about the
Asian Long-horned Beetle & Emerald Ash Borer
Led by Rose Hiskes
from the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
2:30-4:30 pm
A two-hour training session will be held at Audubon Greenwich in an effort to teach people how to identify the Asian Long-horned Beetle (ALB), the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and the tell-tale signs that indicate an infected tree. These wood-boring beetles infest several hardwood trees including maple, elm, willow, birch, horse chestnut and poplar and can kill a tree in 3-5 years. They came to the US from China in wooden pallets or packing material and are now killing groves of trees in nearby areas, including New York, Long Island, and New Jersey.
Since winter is a great time to see what is going on in our deciduous trees, please take this opportunity to learn about these beetles and help look for the first signs of these insects while your out counting birds or walking in the woods. Please note: the larval form of these beetles can be transported unknowingly in firewood.
Co-sponsored by the Greenwich Tree Conservancy, Greenwich Land Trust, Garden Education Center, Knollwood Garden Club, Northwest Greenwich Association, Northeast Greenwich Association, Old Greenwich Association, Greenwich Conservation Commission, and the League of Women Voters of Greenwich.
This event is offered free of charge but RSVPs are required.
To sign up, leave a message at( 203) 869-5272 x239
For more information about these insects, call the guest speaker, Rose Hiskes, a Diagnostician & Horticulturist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at (203) 974-8483 on Mon/Wed/Fri or (860) 683-4977 on Tues/Thurs.

Are you a Ham? - that is an amateur radio operator . . . find out now, visit Norwalk Public Library and listen to shortwave radio signals from all over the world! The Greater Norwalk Amateur Radio Club donated a shortwave radio receiver to the Norwalk Library for public use this past September. If there are enough interested potential "Hams" the GNARC will conduct shortwave orientations to explain and demonstrate shortwave radio, foreign broadcasts, and talking to other amateur "ham" operators across the globe right from the Library.
Borrow a Kill-A-Watt electricity usage meter from the Norwalk Public Library. The Kill-A-Watt meter determines how much energy any appliance or device uses. Simply plug in the meter, plug your appliance or device into the meter, and wait 24 hours. Using the information displayed on the meter, you can calculate the number of kilowatts used per hour, day, and year. As energy costs continue to rise, this small meter can help you save money by discovering unnecessary electricity usage.
Birthday Salute to Marge.
