Phragmites is the common reed which has taken over many of our natural areas. It out competes native plants and creates a monoculture. This presentation by Bob Williams will concentrate on the practical aspects of small scale Phragmites control efforts. The control recommendations are based on MDEQ and DNR research and publications. A presentation will be followed by a demonstration of the preparation and treatment process. Attendees are welcome to visit the Stewart Farm Lakeplain Prairie following the workshop. Call Bob Williams at 248-388-0465 for more information.
