Join us for our May Village Nature Series! Presenter: Olivia Hall & Thom Green, Hemlock Restoration Initiative
North Carolina’s hemlock trees need your help. We have two species of hemlock in North Carolina, the eastern and the Carolina, and the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid threatens both. Though hemlocks are declining, there is hope to bring them back to their previous glory.
The mission of Hemlock Restoration Initiative (HRI) is to work with a variety of partners and existing programs to restore hemlocks to long-term health throughout North Carolina and ensure that eastern and Carolina hemlocks can resist hemlock woolly adelgid and survive to maturity on North Carolina’s public and private lands. Join Olivia and Thom from the Hemlock Restoration Initiative to learn about hemlock ecology, woolly adelgid biology, what is being done to help, and management strategies to take care of hemlocks on your own land.
