Herald Leader: Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

There is a nice article by Andy Mead in today's (Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010) Lexington Herald Leader about current efforts by the University of Kentucky Department of Entomology, the Kentucky Division of Forestry, the U.S. Forest Service, and other entities to control the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, an insect that has the potential to kill every hemlock tree in the state. In particular, the article focuses on the protection of individual hemlock trees in high-priority areas.
