Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Remediation Fund
Michigan is home to an estimated 170 million eastern hemlock trees which provide important habitat and protect against erosion along rivers and streams. The hemlock woolly adelgid sucks sap from hemlock needles, killing needles, shoots and branches. Infested hemlocks become less vigorous and may turn grayish-green. Left untreated, hemlock woolly adelgid can cause tree death in 4-10 years.

The Tallmadge Woods boasts a significant population of eastern hemlock, but sadly they have been impacted by the nationwide hemlock woolly adelgid infestation. Present in at least 20 states, this invasive species has been found in six Michigan counties. 

Timely treatment of hemlock trees in order to eradicate the hemlock woolly adelgid is both urgent and expensive. If you enjoy spending time in the Tallmadge Woods, please consider contributing to the HWA remediation fund. We value donations of any size to help keep our woods thriving. Donate here.
