Description

The Hemlock Woolly Adeglid (HWA) is devastating the Hemlock forests and the delicate ecosystems that depend upon them. The film illustrates the vital importance of The Eastern Hemlock Tree, what should be done to prevent the spread of the HWA and the growing phenomena of invasive species as a whole. After the film, a panel will discuss local efforts to contain HWA.

HWA are here year-round, not just in the winter when we can easily SEE them.
