We gave folders that included printed copies of the "A Field Guide to Invasive Plants of Aquatic and Wetland Habitats for Michigan." It's a ton of pages to print, so you need a heavy duty stapler to make them into booklets.

Melissa DeSimone, the new Executive Director of Michigan Lakes and Streams Association, wanted me to let everyone know that she is happy to provide a letter of support to any CISMA working on an aquatic project proposal. Her email is: melissa.desimone@mlswa.org

Invasive Species Interactive Activity
Fallon Januska replied to Benjamin VanDyke's topic in Community News
I have done the same game with a lot of school groups. I have attached is the version I found. It has more species cards made (if you have more students) and a few more reasons to take steps. Instead of a 50:50 of invasives vs natives this version puts more natives, to show having just a few invasive species in an area will hurt many natives. It can sometimes be difficult to show the correct results because some students will try to cheat, but going over one step being heel to toe helps. If you print these cards, be careful, the front and back do not always line up correctly. ca -
I had a few sites this year that the landowner preferred injection, but the stems were too small to inject. Most of these landowners understood and were so happy treatment had seemed to be working, that they were okay with a foliar treatment this year. However, another option would be a cut and fill the stem cavity (recommend using a pipette).

Backpack Sprayer Experiences
Fallon Januska replied to Shelby Bauer's topic in Best Management Practices (BMP) and Treatment
I had always used Solo in the past, but this year as a small experiment I purchased one Jacto, one Field King, and one Stihl backpack. The only one I have personally used has been the Stihl. I have thought about testing the others, but so far I really like the Stihl. I messed up when ordering the Jacto and got one make with a dark blue plastic, which is going to make it harder to see how much chemical it has in it. There was also some assembly required with the Jacto. No comments yet on the Field King, but I will try to update this once I have used them all. -
Thank you!
