Help Save A Hemlock Tree From Your Computer

 

 

 

Direct verbiage from www.saveourhemlocks.org

There are several ways you can get involved in efforts to protect hemlocks in the Southern Appalachians.

• Donate money to help establish and operate facilities that raise the Pt beetles.

Please send your checks to:
Friends of the Smokies
PO Box 5650
Sevierville, TN 37864-5650

Indicate on the check that the contribution is for the “Save Our Hemlocks” initiative. The “Friends of the Smokies” is a partner on the Save Our Hemlocks Action Team, working to make sure that your contributions go directly toward reducing the hemlock woolly adelgid population in the Southern Appalachians.

• Monitor and, if necessary, treat your own hemlocks. See http://www.saveourhemlocks.org/controls/my_prop.shtml. Treating your own hemlocks ensures their health and helps to reduce the overall hemlock woolly adelgid population.

• Participate on the Save Our Hemlocks Action Team. Contact samab@utk.edu.

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable.   Use with caution.  Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill.  The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.

***Warning label***

We need your pictures, and articles, you don't need to know HTML or other computer skills, submit your articles via email and we will post it here! As long as you know how to e-mail we can handle the rest..

Our goal is to get information out as easily as possible

 

Also you will get full credit with your name on the article just like you would in a magazine.

 

Please submit your pictures for picture of the month. We also plan on a photo gallery to make you and friends famous...well almost famous :)
