It might be worth contacting your County Extension Forester affiliated with the UNH Cooperative Extension. They all have e-mail, so you can probably get a pretty quick response.

A concern might be whether your trees are suffering from the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid. As of '04, there haven't been any sightings of the pest in Belknap or Carrol counties around the lake, but it has been found in Merrimack, Hillsboro, Cheshire, and Rockingham counties. Probably only a matter of time before the Winnipesaukee area is affected. I haven't seen the pest in the Gilford area, but I haven't really been looking that hard.
