Arborist Tree Care Needs Your Help

Here's your chance - help arborists stop hemlock woolly adelgid and save hemlock trees!

Hemlock woolly adelgids - nasty little sap-sucking insects - invaded the United States in the 1920s when they were somehow imported from Japan into the Pacific Northwest.

Since then, adelgids have spread rapidly and are found in most regions of the U.S. where hemlock and spruce grow. Adelgids prefer Canadian (eastern) hemlocks.

If you live in New England and have hemlocks on your property you need to be concerned. Adelgids have already defoliated and killed large numbers of native Canadian hemlock trees throughout American forests.

Adelgids cause hemlocks trees to become weak and eventually die.

Here's what to look for, and what to do about it. This arborist tree care is something you can do to help your local environment.
