[MAIPC] FW: Marc The October Edition Of Wildlife Refuge Watch Is Here!

Fri Oct 11 02:57:54 PDT 2019

At Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, this effort has already paid off as refuge manager Trevor Sheffels recently found and removed four occurrences of one of the new watchlist species, common tansy (Jacobaea vulgaris) growing in open meadow areas used by nesting greater sandhill cranes. Early detection and rapid response have been shown to be the most effective way of addressing newly invading weeds and helps conserve valuable wildlife habitat. This is a great example of how better information can lead to better on-the-ground management.

We checked in with national wildlife refuges along the Atlantic coast from Florida to North Carolina and the answer was similar. Luckily, the wildlife refuges were spared the brunt of this storm and damage was minimal.
