Abstract:
The Eastern and Carolina hemlocks, which represent Appalachian culture, are also a keystone contributor to the mountain forest ecology. These hemlock forests are struggling to survive the invasive hemlock wooly adelgid, which feasts only on them. The Hemlock Restoration Initiative in Asheville, North Carolina is working with partners to restore hemlocks and long-term health.

Abstract:
For years invasives have caused great environmental damage, like the gypsy moth which devastated deciduous forests in the Eastern and Midwestern parts of the country. One of the most recent arrivals is the walnut twig beetle that is native to Arizona and Mexico. However, after living millennia there it began expanding its range in 2000. It feeds on black walnut trees and now threatens these trees in the Carolinas with Thousand Canker Disease.
