Invasive Species Network News
December 2018

 

Just like that, we have reached the conclusion of 2018. It's been another successful year for ISN and it is always inspiring to look back at what has been achieved - read on for a break-down of some of our numbers! Our annual report can be found on our website. 

We are also excited to make several announcements. First, please join us in welcoming our Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) Survey Technicians - Audrey Menninga and Andy Harmon. They will be combing our four counties for the early signs of HWA throughout the winter months - the best time to identify this forest pest. Also, we have set most of our 2019 event dates and there is plenty to look forward to! Visit our website or check the list below to mark your calendars. 

As always, please contact ISN if you have any questions regarding identification, treatment, or upcoming events. You can also report plant sightings to the  Midwest Invasive Species Information Network (MISIN).

Yours in Conservation,
