Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Education Event

We invite you to learn with us about Nova Scotia’s Eastern Hemlock trees and a threat they face—the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (HWA). This insect has the potential to drastically impact our Sackville parks. As of spring 2025, HEMLOCK WOOLY ADELGID HAS NOT YET BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OUR COMMUNITY. Join with us on social media as we learn about hemlocks and what the community can do to help protect our hemlock trees. On Sunday, June 8th at 10:30am we will have a hands-on learning event in the parks with local experts. Please consider joining us for this event.

If you identify the presence of the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid on private land or in our parks please notify HRM by calling 311 and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) by filing out this CFIA form at https://active.inspection.gc.ca/…/conta…/contactuse.aspx.
