MARK YOUR CALENDAR: HOPE FOR THE HEMLOCKS

18 Comments

Tuesday, February 8, 2022

Zoom: 7:00-8:30 P.M.

Thom Green, Outreach Manager for North Carolina Restoration Initiative (HRI) will discuss the importance of hemlock trees in our Western North Carolina ecosystems, how the hemlock woolly adelgid is threatening them, and what is being done by HRI and others to combat the pest.

Thom moved to North Carolina in 2014 to earn an MS in biology with a focus on forest ecology from Western Carolina University. He has been with HRI since 2017 managing the adelgid in North Carolina’s remaining hemlock stands and educating landowners and the general public about what they can do for the hemlocks.
