Saving the Hemlocks

America’s hemlocks are in danger of almost total extinction due to a rapidly spreading infestation of the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), an invasive insect from Asia with no local natural predator. On Tuesday, the Native Plant Society will sponsor a special presentation by Donna Shearer, founder and chairman of Save Georgia’s Hemlocks. It will provide an overview of the importance of hemlocks and the insect that is killing them, as well as ways property owners and volunteers can save trees on private and public land. Don't miss this important discussion on how we can work together to save the hemlocks.
