Sam Guida - Galls, Burls and Brooms. Oh My!

Sam Guida (he/him) is currently working as the Facilities Director at Camp Olson YMCA in Longville, Minnesota. One day, when wandering down the driveway, he noticed a funny bump on a willow tree. After some investigation, it turned out to be a gall caused by a tiny critter with a huge name: a willow beaked gall midge, and Sam has been finding lumps on leaves, funny shaped flowers, and spots on twigs ever since. He has also partnered with several organizations to host gall workshops, including the Minnesota DNR, the Sax-Zim Bog, WTIP, and Wolf Ridge ELC.
