lease forward the attached brochure for an upcoming Invasive Species Management Workshop for Park, Highway, Utility, & Railway Right of Way Managers. Sorry for any multiple postings.
The Southeastern Wisconsin Invasive Species Consortium is providing a one-day workshop on invasive plant management and how to comply with the new Wisconsin law, NR-40 that went into effect on September 1. The purpose of NR 40 is to establish a consistent and comprehensive classification and regulatory system for all listed invasive species. Two workshops will be held at Havenwoods Environmental Awareness Center in Milwaukee and will teach attendees to identify invasive plant problem areas, plan management activities and techniques, and adopt long-term, sustainable strategies for successful invasive plant control and native plant conservation.
Workshops will be taught by Dr. James Reinartz from the UWM Field Station and Marc White from Riveredge Nature Center with the help of other invasive plant experts.
Workshop Topics will include:
• How do invasive plants negatively impact parks, highways and right of ways?
• The new Wisconsin Invasive Species (NR40) Rule
• Best Management Practices (BMPs) and how they relate to implementation of NR 40
• Planning, early detection, and rapid response methods
• Methods for inventory and mapping of invasive plant problems
• Field Techniques
• Integrated invasive management approaches
• Practical and available equipment and methods
• Identification skills
• Understand the biology of your target
• Funding and partnership opportunities
• Adopt-a-Highway, Friends groups, and other resources
The October 21 workshop will be geared for Parks managers, directors, and staff. The October 22 workshop will be geared for highway, railroad, and utility right-of-way staff. The New Deadline to register is October 9.
