SUMMARY:Hemlock Conservation Webinar Series: Chemical Treatment Options and Resources for Woodland Stewards
DESCRIPTION:This online webinar will focus on systemic insecticide treatments that can help woodland stewards protect hemlock trees from Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). Systemic insecticides are currently the only proven short-term method for saving infested hemlocks. Preserving mature hemlocks and trees in riparian areas is especially important\, as these forests provide cooling shade\, wildlife habitat\, soil stability\, and stream protection.  \nAs staff with the Medway Community Forest Cooperative (MCFC)\, presenters Jessica Ihlen and Matt Miller will share an overview of MCFC’s HWA program\, including treatment planning resources\, decision-making tools\, and practical guidance to help woodland stewards determine when chemical treatment is appropriate. Woodland stewards will leave with clear steps for identifying priority trees\, understanding treatment considerations\, and making informed choices to protect hemlock on their property.  \nThis webinar is part of a three-part series designed to equip woodland stewards with practical\, research-informed tools for responding to Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive\, aphid-like insect that has been devastating hemlock forests in Nova Scotia since its discovery in 2017.  Follow the links below to register for parts 2 and 3.  \nWebinar 1: Chemical Treatment Options and Resources for Woodland Stewards  \nWebinar 2: Understanding Biological Control and Research in Nova Scotia \nWebinar 3: Silviculture Strategies to Help Prepare & Adapt your Woodland for HWA
