Incorrect. The assumption that the Eastern Hemlock is a nonrenewable resource is incorrect because it is a natural and living resource that can reproduce and regenerate naturally. While it may take hundreds of years to reach maturity, it can still renew itself through seeds and natural processes. Thus, it can be considered a renewable resource. (shorten it to 1 short sentence)

The Eastern Hemlock is a renewable resource as it can reproduce and regenerate naturally through seeds and natural processes.
