There are probably opportunities for invasive plant work at Millbrook Marsh Nature in State College. You could contact Dr. Rob Brooks at the Cooperative Wetland Center at Penn State to find out, or Centre Region Parks and Rec, and Ron Woodhead, who is the director there. You can call or email me for more information.

Can anyone recommend a good invasive plant removal program near Penn State for Lisa to contact?

Marc,
My friend Lisa, copied above, has a daughter at Penn State involved in a group that might be looking for an invasive plant removal service project.  Can you provide some guidance or a referral through the MAIPC?

Thanks,
Scott

I will be giving a training session for staff at Clearwater Nature Center on Thursday at 10 am for Winter Invasive  plants. I completed a preliminary survey on Dec 31.
A good January project is to remove the vertical vine component of Japanese honeysuckle up the trees. Volunteers love each tree they just saved. And they are easy to find in Winter. A regionally dominate  invasive plant species in forested areas is Japanese honeysuckle. However, unlike other regionally dominate Japanese Stiltgrass and Wavyleaf Basketgrass species, it is easy to greatly reduce.
Method. Pull out Japanese honeysuckle by the roots in Winter wherever we see it up in the trees, aim the roots upward and tie them in place. A few have to be cut-stumped.


The absence of free Winter light energy causes the trailing horizontal vines to decline precipitously the next year.

Thus we control 50-80% of the honeysuckle with 10%

of the effort to control all of it and minimal soil disturbance.

 Do not pull it out of the trees and watch for native vines

(moonseed, trumpet vine, native grape etc.). This method greatly reduces spraying requirements or pulling the horizontal component.
