Check Your Trees for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

 

It's time to check trees for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (another invasive pest that kills trees)

The Michigan DNR reminds Michigan land owners that November and December are the best time of year for them and the Gypsy Moth Suppression Program to check trees for Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (HWA). HWA is a federally listed invasive species that kills Hemlock trees. It has been found in southwest Michigan and could be moving into Bay County. It is one of those “other non-native pests” that the Gypsy Moth Suppression Program staff look for in the fall when we are out in the field checking trees for Gypsy Moth egg masses.
