Hi Rich,



Could you please share this in an e-mail blast with members of the WAA?

This is in regards to the Transportation and Utility Rights-of-Way BMPs, not the Urban Forestry BMPs. Separate BMP tracks, but often overlapping properties. Please share with your networks as you deem appropriate.







Hello Everyone! Please be sure to comment and take the survey as well as share this email with all your colleagues!

We all share a vested interest in preserving and sustaining our natural landscape of Wisconsin. Therefore, it is important that we as a community address the threat posed by invasive species. Although existing resources, programs, and organizations have been working to combat invasive species, in May of 2008, the Transportation and Utility community decided to do more.



With direction from the Wisconsin Council on Forestry, an advisory committee of 20 representatives from the utilities, transportation and government agencies, as well as environmental groups worked to develop the Draft Invasive Species Best Management Practices for Transportation and Utility Rights-of-Ways in Wisconsin. These BMPs provide a framework of voluntary practices to minimize the further spread and introduction of invasive plants, invertebrates, and diseases on the corridors and rights-of-ways of Wisconsin.



To help make the draft Transportation and Utility Rights-of-Way BMPs the best that they can be, we want your feedback. A survey has been posted on the Wisconsin Council on Forestry website where you can view the manual and provide comments and recommendations. Please take time to review the manual, complete the survey, and share this email with your colleagues. Thank you!
