June is Invasive Species Action Month! 🌾

Invasive species are all around us and it's imperative that we take action to manage them! High functioning ecosystems consist of diverse native plant populations, which is threatened by invasive species. Take action this month with us to reduce invasive species on our landscape!

The third annual Invasive Species Action WEEKEND is on June 20 and 21. Visit the DNR's website to learn more and to find an event near you: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Invasives/eventsandvolunteering

An amazing native plant - many confuse it with invasive Wild Parsnip!

This sea of yellow is happening right now in my garden. Golden Alexander is one of the most beneficial native spring wildflowers you can plant. Its bright golden blooms provide an important early food source for native bees and butterflies, and it serves as a host plant for beautiful black swallowtail caterpillars. Native plants like this help restore biodiversity, support pollinators, and strengthen the entire food web right in our own backyards. Plant it if native to your region.

Spring... the time for easily spotting invasive plants!🌾

Many invasive plants in Wisconsin start greening up sooner than native plants. For example, invasive bush honeysuckle (pictured below) usually starts leafing out 2-3 weeks sooner than native shrubs or trees. This is why spring can be a great time to take a walk through your local natural areas or your property and flag the invasive species that you find or hand-pull the small ones.

We do not recommend treating invasive shrubs in the springtime if you're using herbicide. We encourage you to treat these species in the late summer, fall, or winter in order to have the highest success rate. Spring time is when the sap is flowing up within the plants and therefore they don't tend to absorb the herbicide as needed.

Happy Earth Day from our team to you!πŸ¦‹πŸŒŽ

We love our planet and the life within it, which is why we do what we do. Our initiative of reducing invasive species on our landscape is a part of the bigger picture for creating a diverse ecosystem for our native wildlife. We hope to protect and help create ecosystems that support our wildlife species that may be threatened, endangered, or at risk of becoming so.

This Earth Day, we encourage you to get outside and admire the native wildlife and plants that you see around you. Join us in protecting these resources for the good of all! 🐝

With all of this warm weather you may be thinking to yourself, "Maybe I should go prune my oak trees now..."πŸ€”

We're here to remind you that you should wait! Oak wilt is waiting around the corner to invade your woodland.

The Wisconsin DNR recommends not pruning or trimming your oak trees from April through July. Pruning and trimming creates a wound on the tree, which attracts bark beetles. Bark beetles can carry the fungal pathogen Bretziella fagacearum, which causes "Oak Wilt" in a tree. Oak wilt can quickly kill entire oak trees with a higher chance of affecting species in the red oak family (northern pin, northern red, and black oak). Protect your forest and prune in the fall or winter! 🌳

Invasive species have lasting impacts on our ecosystems and community πŸ˜•

The emerald ash borer continues to decimate the ash trees in local forests. Might as well get some lumber out of them or cut them for firewood. Once dead, the upper branches of a dead ash become very brittle and are hazardous trees to be underneath.
