Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

It is important to understand the life cycle and control of the adelgid before more healthy hemlocks are infested.

"The Canadian hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis) immortalized in Longfellow’s poem still murmur throughout New Hampshire’s forests. Though individual hemlock trees have relatively low timber value, their sheer abundance in our forests makes them an important living resource. In addition to their aesthetic value in our natural and human-created landscapes, hemlocks provide wildlife habitat, contribute to water quantity and quality, and play an important role in maintaining forest biodiversity." [1st Paragraph]

The New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food has created a State Exterior Quarantine on hemlock imports in an attempt to reduce the amount of infested plant material entering the state.
