Join naturalists with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program and Lake George Land Conservancy for a free training on how to identify and report beech leaf disease,

The walk will begin at the Edgecomb Pond parking area on Edgecomb Pond Road in Bolton Landing and continue up the trail, with the group learning plant identification and seeing examples of beech leaf disease along the way. Attendees will also learn how to adopt a trail with APIPP's volunteer Forest Pest Hunters program and how to repot invasive species using the iMapInvasives app.

There will be an optional hike to Bradley's Lookout for those interested in continuing farther. The hike to Edgecomb Pond is short and easy, the hike to Bradley's Lookout is 0.8 miles along a moderate, gradual incline. We ask everyone participating in the Guided BLD Walk to bring the appropriate gear for spending a couple hours in the woods in August.
