Fighting Hemlock Woody ASdelgid: one man's plight to save the eastern hemlock

摘要

Throughout the southern Appalachian Mountains the eastern hemlock forests dominate many places in the landscape. They represent the largest (by wood volume), tallest and most common trees in places like Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Increasingly, the scenic overlooks there now offer vast views of dead giants. Hemlocks are in visible, massive decline - generating much public awareness, even though what the public is seeing is the impact of a crisis that has been mounting for two decades.
