  • Slow-The-Spread Management of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid in Northern New England
    Slow-The-Spread Management of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid In Northern New England: A Coordinated Regional Approach This project was funded by a USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry Competitive Grant Initiative December 2011 Abstract This project addressed hemlock woolly adelgid management at the northern edge of its distribution in New England. Hemlock landscapes comprise approximately 3.5 million acres of forestland in the three-state area. Communication and cooperation has been fostered through development of a coordinated program to slow the spread of hemlock woolly adelgid in the northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. This has resulted in strengthened regional partnerships and increased management efficiency. Activities were focused on eradication of outlying populations, suppression activities at the leading edge, integrated management in the infested area, monitoring of changes in distribution boundaries and outreach to potentially affected landowners and industries and to the general public. Cover: Map, Ryan Hanavan USDA Forest Service, NA; Vernal Pool Hemlock, HWA Ovisacs, MFS; Biopesticide application, USDA Forest Service, NA This document was compiled by and is part of the final combined report of the State cooperators under the FY2009 USDA Forest Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry Competitive Grant Initiative: Slow-the-Spread Management of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid at the Northern Edge.

    Maine Conservation Corps 124 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333-0124 1-800-245-JOBS (in Maine) 207-624-6085 [email protected] http://www.maine.gov/doc/parks/mcc Field Team Update The Fall Field Team has finished up their service for the 2013 season! They have completed projects in state parks (Baxter, Vaughan Woods, Androscoggin Riverlands, Grafton Notch, Wolfe’s Neck), on public lands (Nahmakanta, Cutler, Pineland), as well as on the Appalachian Trail, on Haystack Mountain, and in Camden, Bath, Yarmouth, Rangeley, and Orono. Environmental Educators Finish Service The following MCC Environmental Educators will be finishing up their terms of service in November. Janet Gorman of Media, PA, and Bri Benvenuti of Seven Valleys, PA, each served 1700 hours at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Wells. Here’s a short message from Janet: "The past eleven months have gone by too fast. I am so grateful for the Janet Gorman Bri Benvenuti experiences I have had this year at Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. From coordinating volunteers to removing invasive species around rare plant sites, I was afforded the opportunity to merge several of my passions. Maine Conservation Corps was a rewarding and full experience; thank you to everyone that helped make me a better person than I was eleven months ago!" Now that the program is over, I plan on living in Maine and working locally while applying to graduate schools. My hope is to be in school next fall, studying restoration ecology and the biology of invasive plants. Until then, I will be saving money and planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest next summer.” Priscilla Seimer of Harpswell, ME served 900 hours at Ferry Beach State Park in Saco and Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park in Freeport.
