Our Forestry Technician crew is on the front-lines in our program to control HWA on forestlands in North Carolina. The crew works as a team fall through spring to perform hemlock restoration activities on national, state, and otherwise-conserved forests, including parks, game lands, and private lands across Western North Carolina. These activities consist of conducting chemical treatments for HWA, scouting and assessing the health of hemlock stands, writing and updating hemlock treatment plans for each site, installing and collecting data from impact monitoring plots, and to a lesser degree supporting other HWA control strategies, including biological and silvicultural control strategies. Often, the technician crew will work with others (such as volunteers, Job Corps, ACE, BRIDGE, other agency staff, etc.) to accomplish the above tasks.
