Some things are ALWAYS good together..... Some things should NEVER be combined. ListentoLife.org LISTEN TO LIFE by Dr. Joey Faucette Have you ever noticed how some people do all the talking? And that they're usually the ones who are a little negative? Do you practice conversation generousity? And how other people are really good listeners? And that they're more often the ones who when they speak have something positive to say? I was in a room recently in which a man took all the air out of the room by talking only about himself. I watched while other people tried to be polite and listen, or gently change the subject to include others in the conversation. They changed their body language to move away from the person and some just left the room. I was in another room recently in which one person deftly engaged each of the others in the conversation, asking about their families, and so on. I watched as people moved closer together. This room was fi lled with what I call conversation generosity. The loving thing to do with others is to be generous in your conversation. So love others enough to really listen instead of just waiting to talk as you Listen to Life so you Live Positive. MORGANTON, N.C.—The Eastern hemlock trees on Foothills Conservancy's Cane Brake property in Burke County are getting some special treatment courtesy of Saving Hemlocks, an or- ganization based in Western North Carolina that promotes biological control of Hemlock woolly adelgids. Cane Brake, which is part of the conservancy's Smith Cliff/ Henry Fork River Preserve, recently became a stop on Saving Hemlocks founder Patrick Horan's self-described "Johnny Beetleseed" cam- paign in which he travels the southern Appalachian Moun- tains in search of hemlock stands that are affl icted by the Hemlock woolly adelgid. He combats this invasive beetle by releasing predator beetles, Sasajiscymnus tsugae (also called Sasi), that feed on the Hemlock wooly adelgid. "We are fortunate to have a site with many large, mature Eastern hemlock trees that have not experienced the devastating effect of the Hemlock wooly adelgid, like most other hemlocks in our area," said Foothills Conser- vancy's conservation associate, Ryan Sparks. "By taking a proactive approach and releasing these predatory beetles before the Hemlock wooly adelgid has infl icted serious damage to the trees, we can maintain the health of these hemlocks and allow them to continue to fl our- ish at this location." The Hemlock woolly adelgid is a small, in- vasive insect, accidentally imported from Ja- pan in the 1920s. The pest feeds off of stored starches in hemlock trees. Not only does it receive food from the tree, it remains in the same place for its entire life, disrupting the fl ow of nutrients to the trees needles and ulti- mately leading to the tree's death within four to ten years. Large-scale hemlock loss would be disas- trous to Western North Carolina forests, wa- terways, neighborhoods, and parks. Hemlocks provide habitat for a range of animal species and, with no comparable species to replace it, the hemlock's demise would threaten all eco- systems that depend on this tree. Horan has completed 10 years of predatory beetle releases, traveling hundreds of miles in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia, as well as 60 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Mount Pis- gah to Cherokee, North Carolina. This is the third time Saving Hemlocks has done a pred- ator beetle release on Foothills Conservancy properties. "My mission with Saving Hemlocks is ap- plying the best, science-based information to biological control interventions against the Hemlock woolly adelgid," said Horan. "I was pleased to help with the release at Cane Brake to protect and restore this hemlock cove ecosystem." Scientifi c research has identifi ed the Sasi predator beetle as the most effective and available biocontrol option for landowners with hemlocks. Rather than completely eliminate the adelgids, biocontrol establishes an eco- logical balance between predator and prey, allowing the existing adelgids to serve as a continued source of food for the Sasi predator beetles and to remain part of the ecosystem. Over three million Sasi predator beetles pro- duced by USDA labs have been released in national and state parks, but most state and municipal hemlock areas and all private hem- lock areas depend on private groups to im- plement biological control. Savings Hemlocks works with local land trusts and other nonprof- it groups by purchasing Sasi predator bee- tles from a commercial rearing laboratory in Pennsylvania and donating and releasing the beetles to protect vital hemlock ecosystems. Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina is a nationally accredited, non-profi t regional land trust based in Morganton. The conser- vancy works cooperatively with landowners and public/private conservation partners to preserve and protect signifi cant natural areas and open spaces. Focus areas include water- sheds, forests and farmland across the east- ern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and foothills in eight counties: Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Cleveland, Lincoln, Mc- Dowell, and Rutherford. Since 1995, Foothills Conservancy has protected more than 54,000 acres, including lands added to South Moun- tains, Lake James and Chimney Rock state parks; Wilson Creek, South Mountains and the Johns River state game lands; Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Information about Foothills Conservancy, in- cluding ways to support its work, can be found online at www.foothillsconservancy.org or by calling 828-437-9930.
