Climate change to be discussed

Gunn Memorial Library will present a talk and visual presentation, “Climate Impact on the Eastern Hemlock,” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Dr. Carole Cheah, entomologist at Valley Laboratory Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, will lead the program, sponsored by Weantinoge Heritage Land Trust.

Cheah will share her research on the environmental stressors and their impacts on eastern hemlock health in the context of a rapidly changing climate.

The Eastern hemlock is a critical component of many forest and riparian ecosystems in Connecticut and throughout the east.
