Hemlock Question
Looking to speak with timberland owners and processors who deal with hemlock
in the northeast. I've been told it's a low value product, but I'd like to talk to processors/landowners about the market for the product and the impact of the hemlock woolly adelgid on harvest/processing decisions. Please contact me at Thanks. Dexter Van Zile Brighton, Mass. |

Hemlock is a very low value timber in the northeast. The adelgid seems to be spreading rapidly in the northeast but hasn't yet penetrated much in the western most part of Mass. where I live. If your hemlock is getting mature, you might as well have a fairly heavy cut before it gets infected and dies on the stump. Find a local licensed forester to advise you. You can find a list on the state's DEM web site (google it). And, you can look for a forester is who is a member of the Forest Steward's Guild- check foreststewardsguild.com If you have stands other than the timber, have a forester prepare a mgt. plan. You can apply to the Forest Stewardship Office for a "cost-share" for the much of the cost of the plan. Joe Zorzin Mass. LF #261 Please contact me at Thanks. Dexter Van Zile Brighton, Mass. |
