As we enter the dog days of summer, you may notice the lush green foliage of many trees and shrubs becoming marred by unsightly webs or seeming to have skipped over the bright reds and oranges of fall and have faded straight to brown, if not completely missing. While it's natural to want to protect our trees, it's important to understand the broader ecological context before resorting to drastic measures, which can sometimes do more harm than good.

The N.C. Forest Service isn't just protecting forests. We're protecting futures. By working hand in hand with the citizens of North Carolina, we ensuring our forests stay healthy and productive. Will you help us keep working forests working for future generations to enjoy?
