What You Need to Know About Invasive Phragmites

Friday, September 21
Ashland
1:00-2:00 p.m. - Presentation will explain the collaborative project to eradicate one of the only known sources of non-native phragmites (common reed) in the Lake Superior basin!

In 2018, project partners undertook the extensive task of completely retrofitting all three wastewater facilities with native phragmites to eliminate any future spread of the invasive variety of this common reed.
2:00-4:00 p.m. - There will be displays, samples of non-native species, invasive plant bingo, and other activities.
