Phragmites Invasions in Michigan: Building Capacity for Management

Public Meeting
August 9, 2011; 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
East Lansing, Michigan 

 

The Michigan departments of Environmental Quality and Natural Resources, in
cooperation with the Great Lakes Commission, invite you to participate in
this meeting to provide input on a Strategic Framework for the Management
and Control of Invasive Phragmites in Michigan. The meeting will be held
August 9, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Diagnostic Center for
Population and Animal Health in East Lansing, Michigan. Lunch will be
provided. More details on the meeting, including an agenda, will follow
soon.

In March, the event Phragmites Invasions in Michigan: A Symposium to Build
Capacity for Management was held to share information and facilitate
dialogue on phragmites management and control and innovative research. The
symposium drew more than 120 attendees, including representatives from
federal, state and local government, non-government organizations, research
institutions, private firms and concerned citizens. A principal outcome from
the symposium was to inform development of a strategic framework to advance
effective, sustainable management of invasive phragmites throughout the
state of Michigan. The strategic framework will recommend key actions to
advance phragmites management and control on a coordinated basis and will
also identify roles, responsibilities and opportunities for implementation.
