ONLINE: Conversations about Conservation
press release: Join us for our next Conversation About Conservation! We will be holding these virtual events on the first Tuesday of each month from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
The Upper Sugar River Watershed Association is involved in purple loosestrife control efforts. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has developed a program to engage citizens in this work, especially through rearing and releasing biological control insects. Conservationists have found this project to be a practical undertaking for communities and the basis for more effective teaching about plants, insects, invasive species, and wetland ecology. The project supplies a crucial step in turning the tide of an invasive while engaging environmentally active citizens.
We will cover:
- What is the threat of purple loosestrife?
- Lay out a season of capturing, rearing, and releasing beetles.
- Provide further resources about hosting a site or volunteering with us in 2022.
Join us to learn about this novel bio-control technique and get involved!
