I have rec'd emails from a national campaign to halt approval of GMO trees
by the USDA. I understand the value of GMO organisms in certain
circumstances, but do the companies who benefit understand the downside of
release? Do they care? Probably not. Please submit a comment to APHIS before

Agriculture, forestry hit by alien plants
By LARRY PYNN, Vancouver Sun
January 17, 2010
Alien plants could be costing the province billions of dollars in terms of
reduced agriculture and forest production, lower land values, additional
costs of land remediation and maintenance, as well as diminished
ecosystems, says the chair of the Invasive Plant Council of B.C.

Press Association
guardian.co.uk, Friday 22 January 2010 11.14 GMT
Hundreds of invasive species - from rats to diseases - are posing one of
the greatest threats to wildlife around the world, conservationists warned
today.
A study of 57 countries coordinated by the Global Invasive Species
programme (pdf) found 542 types of animals and plants were putting native
wildlife at risk in places where they are not naturally found.

Greetings Plant Lovers-
Spring will soon be here, and why not get geared up for the season by
attending the Ohio Botanical Symposium? Last year, over 400 people
attended.
This year's event features keynote speaker Doug Tallamay and sedge expert
Dr. Tony Reznicek.
------------------------
Native plants, pollinators, prairie restoration, rare plant discoveries and
sedges are some of the topics to be discussed on Friday, March 26, during
the 10th Annual Ohio Botanical Symposium.
Presented by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Cleveland
Museum of Natural History, The Nature Conservancy and The Ohio State
University, the event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Villa Milano,
1630 Schrock Road in north Columbus.
This year, we are very excited about having Dr. Doug Tallamy as our keynote
speaker. His book "Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife
in Our Gardens" won the 2008 silver medal by the Garden Writer's
Association.
Jim McCormac, who was instrumental in starting the symposium ten years ago,
is returning to present the best plant discoveries talk. The first 3 years
of the symposium Jim gave this talk and started the annual tradition of
highlighting Ohio plant discoveries.
Dr. Tony Reznicek, the sedge guru, is going to speak about sedges and the
diversity and richness of the genus in Ohio and worldwide.
Martin McAllister is returning to speak on the restoration efforts at Agave
Ridge Prairie where famous ecologist E. Lucy Braun sampled in the 1920s.
Natural Areas has been monitoring the restoration effort with her original
transect for over 15 years. Martin always gives a humorous, informative
talk.
With the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid right on Ohio's doorstep in Pennsylvania,
it is important that we become familiar with the serious pest. Brad Onken
of the U.S. Forest Service is one of the authorities on this insect and he
will talk about the efforts to control this highly destructive species.
Finally, Dr. Lynn Loveless, who has been studying evolutionary biology of
plants and pollinators, will discuss the relationships between pollinators
and plants and how they have co-evolved over thousands of years.
The event will also feature displays from a number private and public
conservation organizations and vendors offering conservation-related items
for purchase.
The $25 attendance fee includes conference materials, continental
breakfast, buffet lunch and break refreshments. Registrations will be
accepted until March 22. For registration forms and more details, visit
http://www.ohiodnr.com/tabid/20259/Default.aspx or contact Rick Gardner at
614-265-6419.

Note that this is different from the Weeds Across Boundaries meeting in
June 2010.
Working Across Boundaries to Protect Ecosystems
New location featuring Wekiva River Basin!
Date: March 23-25, 2010
Location: Mid-Florida Research and Education Center, Apopka, Florida
Tuition: On or before February 19, 2010, $380.00
After February 19, 2010, $430.00
Registration: http://nata.snre.ufl.edu/
*This workshop is part of the series that leads to the Certificate in
Natural Areas Management.*
This workshop uses a case study to demonstrate how political, social, and
ecological forces can negatively affect protected areas and how to
effectively address these issues.
* Includes day-long tour of Wekiva River Basin
* Canoe trip included (weather permitting)
Participants will learn to:
* Explore ecosystem management theory and its relevance to conservation
practice.
* Identify and address specific threats from outside a protected area.
* Discover strategies for bringing agencies together to seek common
solutions.
* Learn consensus based facilitation skills.
This is how one participant described the 2009 workshop:
"This was an excellent workshop because it allowed me to see beyond my own
properties that I manage in order to cause positive change. It provided me
with solid examples of how to work with other agencies and the public to
affect change."

Preserving the bird that lives in trees that siphon precious water
By Stephanie Tavares
Monday, Feb. 1, 2010 | 2 a.m.
Sometimes in nature, the simplest solutions lead to the most convoluted
results.
Take the saltcedar tree, one of the greatest scourges of the West; it
chokes out native plants, sucks up water like a sponge and ruins
recreation spots.

Hello All,
Japanese stiltgrass is relatively new to Massachusetts. We are trying to
control it along a rural ag/forest/residential roadside. Many patches are
too large to pull by hand, so another method is desired. State regulations
make it difficult to use herbicides, except for a few (see second
paragraph). We are also exploring the possibility of heat treatment.
Mervosh and Ward from CT Ag. Experiment Station got good results from a
400,000 BTU propane torch and found it to be effective. I am wondering if
anyone has used the 100,000 BTU unit or has tried the steam or foam
treatment. I would appreciate hearing about effectiveness, how difficult
it is to avoid other vegetation, recovery of other species in years
following the treatment, and where these tools can be purchased. (I am
aware of the source of Weed Dragons, Flame Engineering.)
I also hope to learn if any of the herbicides that are possible to use
under current MA regulations would be effective on stiltgrass, but not too
harsh on the other vegetation. They include: several glyphosate products;
metsulfuron methyl; metsulfuron methyl sulfometuron methyl; ammonium salt
of fasamine; imazapyr, and triclopyr, butoxy ethyl ester (the list,
including brand names, can be found at
<http://www.mass.gov/agr/pesticides/rightofway/Sensitive_Area_Materials.htm>
).
In experiments to augment native species recovery after stiltgrass removal,
Flory added native seeds and found less recovery of the native community
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/120848698/HTMLSTART).
Has anyone seen successful establishment of other plants by seeding after
stiltgrass removal? If so, can you send details?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Potential Invasive Pests Workshop
October 11-14, 2010
Mayfair Hotel . Miami (Coconut Grove), Florida USA
Sponsored by: UF IFAS, Center for Tropical Agriculture (CTA) | USDA
TSTAR | APHIS PPQ
Many arthropods invade continental USA and the Caribbean Region each year,
causing significant damage to agriculture and natural environments. In the
area(s) of origin or invasion of many of these pests, there have been
significant advances in pest identity, host range, geographical
distribution, biology, tools for detection and identification. This
knowledge must be made available to researchers and regulatory personnel
in the USA and the Caribbean Region in order to prevent the pests from
becoming established in this area. Control of these pests must be
addressed. This workshop will include specialists who would provide sound
information on some of the most recent invasive pests and on potential
invaders in order to provide researchers, regulatory personnel and growers
with the necessary tools to address these potential threats.
A major outcome of the Workshop will be a reference book that will include
sections on the major invasive pests with chapters authored by invited
speakers and participants.

The Weeds Across Borders 2010 Coordinating Committee is now accepting
abstracts for oral (paper) and poster presentations. The theme of this
year's conference is "Plant Invasions: Policies, Politics, and Practices".
Program session topics include: Cooperation & Partnerships, Applied Research

Weeds Across Borders is a biennial international conference covering the
interests of professionals and organizations involved in weed management and
regulation. It is composed of an affiliation of organizations from various
jurisdictions across North America with a common interest in sharing
information and promoting weed management throughout North America. Because
weeds do not respect human imposed laws or boundaries, we must develop
partnerships, share information, and coordinate programs and projects that
cross these boundaries.
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for educating, sharing, and
disseminating knowledge about weed management, regulatory issues, and
concerns about weed dispersal across and between all jurisdictional
boundaries in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
