The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has detected an invasive insect, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, in the Halifax area for the first time -- which is deadly to hemlock trees.
The province’s department of environment is now working with partners, including the Mi’kmaw who believe hemlock have spiritual significance, to identify which hemlock stands should be prioritized.
The province is leading efforts that are currently underway to administer insecticides to protect hemlock trees for five to seven years at a time against HWA.To help with early detection and treatment efforts, Neville is asking the public to report sightings of the white woolly egg sacs to the CFIA. The once cool and dark canopies of space for other animals to build their homes in is now very open and exposed.
