Return to Search

Purpose

Woodland Dunes Nature Center and Preserve proposes to control Phragmites australis on wetland property it owns, that is adjacent to the shoreline of the West Twin River, by implementing control measures during the period 2007 - 2009. The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Woodland Dunes Nature Center and Preserve's Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated February 14, 2007. The project includes conducting pre- and post-treatment surveys and mapping the extent of P. australis; controlling P. australis with aquatic herbicide treatments and/or other measures as permitted by the Department; and implementing a prevention strategy that includes developing an awareness & education program for visitors and adjacent landowners, and installing boot brushes for visitors. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the three-year project will be provided to DNR. If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended that the Grantee provide the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR will be provided both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee's final payment request. Any publications produced as part of the project will incorporate the "Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!"\00BF brand.
