Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Research Forum
This website was created to be used as a database for people interested in HWA related topics.
There is both a public and private sector to this website (private sector being accessed by password only). The private sector part of the website will have details on preliminary data and can serve as a forum for new HWA research ideas. Please contact lux@fas.harvard.edu to have information posted to the website.
Simes Site
The Simes Hemlock Removal Experiment is a multi-collaborator project examining effects of hemlock removal on forest structure and function. This above link presents an overview of the experiment and password-protected data files. For more information, contact Aaron Ellison or Audrey Barker Plotkin.
