These trees now face tragic decimation by exotic insects and pathogens. Palmer's photos record the splendor of the cherished hemlock and beech in the same way that pictures of iconic, historic buildings commemorate classic landmarks gone the way of the wrecking ball. And yet, as Palmer underscores in his final chapter, the lessons learned as we address the fate of these trees can help us chart a better course for all wooded landscapes in the years ahead. This story of loss, scientific inquiry, and prospective recovery is vital to understanding nature in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an act of artistic preservation, a report on the science vital to the survival of these trees, and a call to action, \u003ci\u003eTwilight of the Hemlocks and Beeches\u003c\/i\u003e assures a lasting legacy for this irreplaceable forest community.
