Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) was discovered in 2021 in Benzie County. While early detection efforts eliminated the threat before it could become established, survey efforts will continue into the 2023 survey season. 

For more information on HWA, ISN's work to stay ahead of the spread, and surveying information, please follow the link below.
