we focus on a disease affecting the Eastern Hemlock tree. We travel to Blanton Forest in Harlan County with Merril Flanary of the Kentucky Natural Lands Trust. There, we get a close up look at the problem, treatment options and the insect -- the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid -- devastating the indigenous evergreens.
