The Lindsay Young Beneficial Insects Laboratory, a part of Knoxville AgResearch, was dedicated May 20, 2005. The laboratory provides space and resources for raising predator beetles used to combat the hemlock wooly adelgid, first found in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2002. The four-year, $2 million project to establish the laboratory expanded it from its initial focus on the hemlock wooly adelgid to projects that combat other invasive pests. The idea for the laboratory was brought to the campus by Veronica Gibson, a research technician, and lab supervisor John Nelson following a 2003 Pennsylvania conference.
