PHHAT Treatment Days on the Green with Hemlock Restoration Initiative on May 5th and May 25th
Join us on the Upper section of the Green River (class III) on May 5th and/or May 25th and become a member of the Paddlers Hemlock Health Action Taskforce (PHHAT).
This collaboration between the Hemlock Restoration Initiative, American Whitewater, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper utilizes experienced whitewater paddlers to treat trees along the Green River. We use a custom protocol to protect hemlock trees from infestation and death by the woolly adelgid (a non-native sap-sucking insect), whilst ensuring the safety and protection of water quality.
