populations could be negatively affected by the loss of the hemlock. And more broadly, Americans should care about this issue because it is indicative of a very important environmental issue that is invasive species.

This is because the United States forests are under threat and diseases and pests such as the Emerald Ash Borer “are killing tens of thousands of acres of trees nationally”. Natural fires and climate change are also affecting the growth of these trees. If we do not take action 50% of this nation’s water will be unfiltered, carbon emissions will not…
