Wooly Adelgids suck. Seriously. They feed by sucking sap from the base of hemlock needles, which starves the tree. If these invasive suckers don't kill the tree, they weaken it so much that it succumbs to other pests or droughts. 🌲🌲🌲 This is one example of an environmental stress caused by a changing climate. And it's one challenge our friends and allies are working to solve through climate-smart forestry. 🌲🌲🌲 Shout out to our forester friends Tom and Amanda at Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) and UConn Forest, and to Beth and Juliana from Avalonia Land Conservancy, Inc, for leading forest tours this past weekend that shared insight with fellow conservation groups and forest stewards. 🌲🌲🌲 At #MoheganStateForest, we saw a framework for adaptive forest management in action, while at the #HoffmanPreserve in North Stonington we learned about an effort to rejuvenate the ailing Hemlock forest with more resilient tree species. 🌲🌲🌲 Read more on our blog: https://ctconservation.org/climate-smart-forest-stewardship-in-action/ And more about stewardship at the Hoffman Preserve via Avalonia: https://avalonia.org/preserves/hoffman-evergreen-preserve/ #LoveYourCTLandTrust and #LoveClimateSmartForestry (fb)
No farms, no food, right? We really need to be smart about our farming policies if we value locally-grown produce. That's why we need the Connecticut State Senate to approve HB 5064 this legislative session. Already approved by the House, this bill would provide conservation tools that help farmers generate revenue, make their land affordable for future farmers, and ensure that their land stays in agriculture. For more, check out the Farmland Access Report we published last year, in partnership with Connecticut Department of Agriculture: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/doag/boards_commissions_councils/diversity-working-group/access-to-secure-land-tenure/ct-doag-farmland-access-and-ownership-final-march-2024.pdf #LoveYourCTLandTrust and #LoveYourCTFarms #CTGrown (fb)
