The hemlock woolly adelgid is an invasive insect that attacks and kills hemlock trees by feeding on its fluids. Natural Resources Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Invasive Species Centre have a community science monitoring program that aims to look for where hemlock woolly adelgid may be.
