Invasive hemlock woolly adelgid gaining ground in eastern Adirondacks

Hemlock woolly adelgid, a tiny insect that preys mainly on hemlock trees, continues to expand in the North Country as two new infestations were discovered recently in the Adirondacks.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Hemlock Initiative at Cornell University, and Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program confirmed the infestations on the western shore of Lake Champlain near Port Douglas in the town of Ausable, Essex County. HWA also recently was discovered near the north end of Great Sacandaga Lake near the Conklingville Dam, in Saratoga County.
