Led NCWMA, FWS, and public volunteer to remove approx. 1500 lbs between Winneboujou canoe landing and HWY 2 canoe landing. Observed successful in-situ desiccation from 2022 fieldwork, as well as large mature YFI individuals that were severely damaged by partial digging in 2022. Damage from 2022 appears to have killed 50-75% of rhizome mass, rendering subsequent control of remaining plant highly efficient as rhizomes can be more easily removed by hand.00000000000000000000

Prelim mapping was conducted from Winneboujou Canoe Landing (E County Road B) to Pine Tree Canoe Landing (Dead End Road), with a focus on the target species Yellow Flag Iris. Numerous infestations of Yellow Flag Iris were discovered and marked in this stretch, which is consistent with anecdotal reports that the Yellow Flag Iris infestation on the Brule has been spreading in recent years. 00000000000000000000
