How is the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in danger?

Answer:

Eastern Hemlock Trees are some of the largest and most common trees in the park.

They are under attack from a non-native insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid. Without successful intervention, the hemlock woolly adelgid is likely to kill most of the hemlock trees in the park.
