Hemlock Wooly Adelgid was found today in Brattleboro by a young logger named Kyle. The land is located at the junction of Rice Farm Road and Black Mountain Road. I was have a grand time inspecting my logging job (it is one of the best jobs I've ever seen) and then met up with Mike who told me the bad news. Kyle had been trained by his boss Long View to detect the adelgid and noticed it when he was bucking up the tops.
So, keep on keeping your eyes out.
We don't know what the state's recommendation is for treating the area. Keep you posted.
