Great Smoky Mountains: Saving the Hemlocks Part III

© Great Smoky Mountains Association 2010.
The trees with delicate, tiny needles that you walk among on almost every trail in the Great Smoky Mountains, that you see on almost every hillside Hemlock trees!

But the quintessential Smokies tree is being killed by a non-native insect thats no bigger than the dot at the end of this sentence. Saving the trees is a complex problem, involves a lot of sweat and effort, and some interesting biology too.

Ive put together a 3-part film to explain what the problem is, and whats being done to save the trees.

I just got back from the Smokies and the eastern hemlock are in serious danger. I sense that there won't be many dominants left in the park in a few years even with biocontrol.
