Stephen’s talk was a favorite among attendees at the conference, so we asked him to join us for a Wetland Coffee Break presentation to share how many invasive species are better understood as symptoms of a stressed ecosystem.
Jason Fleener, wetland habitat specialist with WDNR, will outline the various steps to plan out and implement a successful spraying project, discuss how to choose the best method for application (helicopter or drone), and how to choose the right chemicals for a project.
Learn about the purple loosestrife biocontrol process and how it is sometimes integrated with other invasive plant management.
Hear from practitioner Craig Annen, who has been collecting and examining an extensive body of reed canarygrass literature from across the world since 2002 (from more than 1,000 studies and over 300 journals in ten different languages).
Presenter Matt Puz discusses wetland dynamics as well as Phragmites biology and ecology, and how understanding these two concepts can lead to more effective management.
