Regenerating eastern hemlock in the Lake States

Abstract

The eastern hemlock type is declining in area faster than any other. Growing-stock volume, for example, declined 71 percent in only 20 years in Michigan, and has declined similarly in Wisconsin. Many land management agencies have stopped cutting hemlock until satisfactory regeneration can be assured.
