DNR advises caution to prevent spread of oak wilt disease To prevent oak wilt from spreading to healthy trees, don’t prune or wound oaks between April 15 and July 15. The spread of oak wilt occurs during this time of year as beetles move spores from fungal fruiting structures on the trees killed last year by oak wilt to wounds on healthy oaks. As warmer weather melts away snow and ice, the beetles that move oak wilt become active. Learn more about preventing the spread of oak wilt. Are you registered for the AIS Landing Blitz?

New video shows how joining the Exotic Aquatic Plant Watch can help Invasive aquatic plants can be bad news for your lake, as high densities of these unwanted species can negatively affect fish populations and reduce recreational opportunities. Michigan DEQ and MiCorps staff teamed up to create this short video which introduces and describes the Exotic Aquatic Plant Watch (EAPW) and demonstrates how lake volunteers can identify, monitor, and map four aquatic invasive plant species. Early detection, with the help of the EAPW, can lead to a rapid response which is critical to preventing or managing invasions in your lake. You can view this video and other short, informational videos that demonstrate how to complete some of the other MiCorps Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program water quality parameters at https://micorps.net/lake-monitoring/lake-training/. (Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to view the new EAPW video.) Questions or comments related to the video may be directed to Dr. Jo Latimore (MSU/MiCorps staff) at latimor1@msu.edu.
