    It has become a never ending war of new invasives destroying our ecology, There has to be better standards to prevent the devestation of our forests. The list keeps growing of species under destruction, Elm, American Chestnut, Black Wlanut, Butternut, Maple, Hemlock, Beech nut. Some of the once most commom trees across are basically gone, huge numbers of nut producers that feed mother natures animals.
    The invasion never stops, what if next is a new blight on corn? the biggiest food for livestock and people alike, or wheat or soybeans, agriculture crops that are 96% or higher of one variety. That a new blight of a single crop would have massive starvation and economic loss effects for years America.
    There has to be much better control of importation of living plants and foods!

    Our Hemlock forests need immediate help and I support the use of the pesticides for the initial treatment for HWA.
    The amazing Hemlocks at the Sacandage Campground appear to be healthy so far ,.,., has anyone heard otherwise?
