[MAIPC] New Information?

[Richard Gardner]

Here, along the Appalachian Trail near Hawk Mountain in Pennsylvania, the main source of spread of Japanese Stilt grass is hikers.  (The same is true for Garlic Mustard.)  I am seeing patches of possible blight and saw a small area near the Lehigh Gap which was dead from unknown causes.  I will be watching the AT again this coming hiking season for signs of blight.

                                                                            Richard Gardner

 Check with Bill McShea at
 the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front
 Royal Va. They have had a deer exclusion fence up for some
 20 years with interesting results. Also small fenced test
 plots have shown interesting reduction of stilt grass.

 Let's plan on this as a research project.
