Eastern Hemlocks are a staple of northeastern US forests. During this bonus episode, Steve and Bill make some tea and dive into what makes this tree so special. Historically, Hemlock has experienced 3 major declines, with the most recent happening right now. The culprit is an introduced hemipteran from Asia. Later this month, the guys will release a regular episode on that insect. But for now, enjoy this primer for episode 23!

Sorry for the quieter audio in some parts (especially Bill's lines)! The wind made editing difficult this month. Next time, we promise to stand closer to the mic (especially Bill).
