A tiny insect called the balsam wooly adelgid is killing what used to be a thick, dark green forest that once
covered many of the highest mountains in Western North Carolina. The trees were so thick and so dark that
the mountains appeared black from a distance. Weakened by acid rain and fog, mostly created by coal-fired
power plants to the west and north, the trees are easy prey to the imported pest. Hiking along the ridge
north of Mt. Mitchell with a friend, we came upon this other pair of old friends, who lived and died side by
side, suffering a fate that will eventually befall all their relatives on the ridges beyond. The trees are in no
apparent danger of extinction, as the insect takes so long to kill them that they are able to reproduce, but the
forest is becoming one of exclusively young trees and old snags.
