No doubt several of our members saw info posted recently about hemlock woolly adelgid found in Michigan. Or, they remember hearing about it from Amy Stone or other presenters on invasive pest species. We have not emphasized it because our woodlots and natural areas in SE Michigan do not have significant, if any, hemlocks. We have some in our nurseries, where they are inspected and/or treated, and some in our landscapes that are not too likely to become infested, nor too difficult to treat. Still, it is very good news that some new tactics to control this nationally serious forest pest are being developed, and you may want to read about them?
