Hemlock Treatment Workday

Join the collaboration between MountainTrue and the Hemlock Restoration Initiative as we treat hemlocks in an effort to protect them from the hemlock wooly adelgid (HWA). Eastern and Carolina hemlock populations are declining due to the HWA, a small pest thriving off the hemlock’s stored and available nutrients. MountainTrue and the Hemlock Restoration Initiative are safely treating Eastern and Carolina hemlocks chemically to keep them alive until bio-controls are successfully implemented and we need your help! We are treating hemlocks in Holmes Educational State Forest on Thursday, March 24th from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM. Contact amanda@mountaintrue.org for details and to RSVP.
