T-Shirts Net Friends of the Smokies $70,000

What a huge success the “Save the Hemlocks” tee shirts have been! The Great Smoky Mountain Association has sold over 6,000 of the short and long-sleeved shirts to date, and they are well on their way to meeting the $100,000 goal.

All the money go to the Friends of the Smokies and is used for the various hemlock projects like the successful nicotine spraying for hemlock predators and treatments with the special ageldid-eating beetles that were released in the park this year.

The shirts feature the art of Robert Tino, one of our most famous Smokies artists, and they can still be purchased. To order yours, call 1-888-898-9102 or visit www.SmokiesStore.org.
