The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, February 6, 2003 8 Hemlocks ——— (continued from page 1) “A lot of people are just watching their trees die and then having someone come and take. them down,” said Mark Sobeck, president of the Protec- tive Association. “Part of the beauty of the lake is the trees. We'd like to do everything we can to make sure they don’t get devoured by the Woolly Adel- gid.” Cotrone said the hemlock woolly adelgid, characterized by small cottony masses that feed off the needles of hemlocks, has been around since the 1960s, with relatively little damage at- tributed to it. But in the last few years, the aphid-like insect has been blamed for killing the state tree throughout the east- ern half of Pennsylvania and Eastern Seaboard. “The big issue is it's non-na- tive, so we don’t have any active predators to feed on them,” said 2 @ io ot © QJ people are st watching their s die and then ‘ ving someone me and take them down.” Mark Sobeck President, Harveys Lake Protective Association Sobeck said the death of so many hemlocks is threatening to change the character of the lake. “There are other trees, but this happens to be one that’s very prominent around the lake,” he said. Because of their slow growing nature, he said if cut down, he believes residents won't have the opportunity to see trees like that again at the lake in their lifetime. Sobeck gave numerous exam- Bb les of residents who have al- eady lost their trees. He said POST PHOTO/ERIN YOUNGMAN Tony Kalinosky, of Kalinosky Landscaping, who has been keeping up with the latest Woolly Adelgid news by attending all of the Penn State Extension workshops, explained how this 30 foot tree across from Garrity Realty at the lake has been treated and is expected to survive. dividual tree. “If the tree has lost 40-50 percent of its nee- are available to treat infected trees. However, regulations make it illegal to do so near the lake. “You can’t have drift falling into the lake,” he said. The concern is “it would wind up starting to kill fish.” Cotrone said besides the ob- vious damage to property value and the aesthetics at the lake, losing trees can. damage the watershed. “If you're starting to remove trees from the lake watershed, it changes storm water pat- terns,” said Cotrone. “If people are concerned about the lake, the land should be forested,” he added. : dles, you can kill off the Woolly Adelgids, but the plant is so unhealthy at that point it will keep on dying,” said Cotrone. Sobeck said part of his goal as the new protective associa- tion president is to educate res- idents about the tree crisis. At the meeting, residents will learn about treatment methods. Cotrone said one method that could be used at the lake. is root injections. He said as long as done properly, injections can be very effective. In addition to residents of Harveys Lake, Sobeck said the better handle on what's hap- pening to the Hemlocks,” said “I want to see every- body educated about the Woolly Adelgid so they are not scratch- ing their heads going ‘what's happening to our trees’.” BiLo Oil Co.
