 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, […] |

This online webinar will focus on biological control, a long-term strategy that uses natural predators to reduce Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) populations. Current research in Nova Scotia includes evaluating and releasing specialist predators such as Laricobius nigrinus, a beetle that feeds on HWA and has shown promise for establishing in affected stands. This work is […] |

This webinar will focus on silviculture strategies that help woodland stewards prepare for, and adapt to, the arrival of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). Practices such as stand thinning can improve tree vigour in advance of infestation. Silviculture can also play a mitigative role in cases where insecticide treatments are feasible, where the focus is on […] |
