Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carrière) is endangered in Minnesota due to low regeneration, human-facilitated destruction, and subsidence in key locations. However, hundreds of planted eastern hemlock exist in Minnesota. Combining survey data and a planting experiment, we aim to give land managers practical information for eastern hemlock restoration.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to evaluate eastern hemlock within the context of climate change resilience.
Participants will consider ways of engaging the public and natural resource managers that increase collective knowledge of habitats and species.
