All,
The Hemlock Wooly Adelgid is spread all through Great Smoky Mountains
National Park now. There is, so far, little loss of trees, but there
are lots of signs of stress and some loss. I experienced first hand
what this beast can do when I lived in Delaware Water Gap National
Recreation Area, as well as when I visited Shenandoah National Park.
It takes a few years...
I hope that all the work being done in the park will help. But with
precious little being done in adjoining Cherokee NF, the challenge is
great.
