Alert!
Hemlock Wooly Adelgid
Has Come to Goose Island.
Information from Fireside Chat can be
found on this page.
The Lumpkin Coalition Website
 In
the early 1950’s, a small, aphid-like insect was first
observed feeding on hemlock in Virginia. This insect was
the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), Adelges tsugae (Annand),
and an exotic pest native to Asia. The HWA has since
spread to 14 eastern states where it threatens two species
of hemlock--the eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis (L.)
Carr. and Carolina hemlock, Tsuga caroliniana Engelm. ...more
BEAR ACTIVITY
 It's
that time of year again. Black bears are roaming to establish
territory and are exploring food sources to teach their cubs how to
eat. We've had numerous recent bear sightings along with evidence of
bear visitations. I had the one bird feeder I did not have on a high
wire crushed flatter than a Swedish pancake. So here's a reminder: A
fed bear is a dead bear, and one that can cause lots of damage on
the way down. So please keep food away from bears. Keep garbage cans
inside, store bird and pet food inside only, put bird feeders on
high wires or take them indoors well before dark each day, and keep
Fido's dog dish inside day and night. For more information, please
see the wildlife articles elsewhere on our web page. And enjoy the
bears from a safe distance! |

WATER CONSERVATION
Despite near normal rainfall the past few months north Georgia & GIHA
remains in an "Extreme" drought area. The eight wells in GIHA are providing
water for our community but good water conservation practices are still
called for.
Remember: "WATER-SAVING DEVICE # 1" is YOU! Please keep practicing water
conservation.
Click the link below for a long list of water saving habits/practices from the "WATER USE IT
WISELY" website. Please read & implement as many as you can in your daily
use of GIHA well water...more |
