We are losing all of our hemlock trees in the Appalachians to an invasive insect. It was accidentally introduced in 1920, but the cold winters apparently kept it out of the high elevations until now.
The poster in my freshman dorm room was a wonderful Sierra Club poster of an Eliot Porter photo of hemlock trees.
I think we need to take the kids to the mountains to see them before they are gone. This is horrible and sad.
