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.
