The March, 2009 issue of Science Daily has a new story about the impending doom of the hemlocks in the lower Appalachian region and its dire consequences for the surrounding ecosystems. It also has further links to older stories about anti-hemlock fungi and the Japanese Beetles that we have used at Hemlock Gorge.

The story can be found here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090226122730.htm. It can also be reached via the contemporary issue of American Forest.
