Workshop on Controlling Phragmites (Common Reed)

February 22, 2007 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Metro Beach MetroPark Activities Center Mt. Clemens, Michigan

Registration Fee: $50.00

The tall grass Phragmites australis (common reed) increasingly
threatens wetlands in the southern Great Lakes region, including the
Lake Huron to Lake Erie corridor. Once established, the plant's deep
and fast growing rhizomes make it difficult to remove.

This workshop is designed for volunteer land stewards who are active
with corporate and other properties that include large or small
wetlands. Presentations and discussion will help participants to
prevent Phragmites invasion by monitoring high-quality and
susceptible wetlands, and to plan steps for eradicating already
established Phragmites. A significant component of the workshop will
be sharing of experiences, both successful and not.

Presenters:

Ernie Kafcas, wildlife biologist, Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Staff from Long Point Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Fund, Bird Studies
Canada
Space is limited. Please register by February 15.

Sponsored by Wildlife Habitat Council's Huron to Erie Waterways for
Wildlife Project, with funding from BASF Corporation's Wyandotte Site.
