Save Kentucky’s Hemlocks is working to prioritize areas in Kentucky that are too valuable to lose. Our highest priorities are then being separated by land owner including: state owned, privately owned and federally owned. As the HWA infestation spreads, these areas will change and become much larger. If you have an idea of a priority area not listed below, please contact us.
