Town of Bridgewater: Hemlock Conservation Project

Delivered in: en

Nikita Lakhanpal, the Project Coordinator for the Town of Bridgewater’s Hemlock Conservation Project, will provide an insightful presentation on the pressing issue of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) infestation and the urgent need for municipal action. Nikita will delve into the comprehensive measures being undertaken by the Bridgewater Hemlock Conservation Project to address this environmental crisis.

Importantly, Nikita will discuss how other municipalities can take proactive steps to start their own conservation projects. The Hemlock Conservation Project serves as a model that can be adapted to different regions, with an emphasis on collaboration, resource-sharing, and community involvement. By taking these steps, other municipalities can protect their hemlock populations and help curb the spread of HWA across the region.

As we face the growing challenge of invasive species and their impact on our natural landscapes, the work being done in Bridgewater serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of local action and community participation.”
