When you are working to control invasive plants in forested plant communities is

there value in planting native species where the invaders have been removed? We will explore what is known about whether it might be effective to plant natives to compete with, and help to prevent the reestablishment of, invasive species. This is currently a topic of active research.

Jim Reinartz is the retired Director of the UW Milwaukee Field Station. Jim is a botanist and plant ecologist and taught courses on the vegetation of Wisconsin, wetland ecology, and several other topics. He is very active in the preservation and management of natural areas and the control of invasive species. Jim is currently the President of the non-profit Friends of Cedarburg Bog.

Identifying Native Trees and Shrubs in Winter
Instructor: Danielle Bell
Format: In person
Date/Time: Saturday, February 22, 9:00am-2:30pm (half hour lunch on your own)
Location: Mequon Nature Preserve
Elective (5 hours)
Description: At first glance, all trees can look the same in winter. However, if you look at them in detail you can identify a tree to species by examining the buds, bark, and site conditions. Each species has a unique bud that holds the future leaves and flowers that will emerge in the spring and they know the ideal time to emerge. First we will look at the anatomy of twigs and how buds can be used to identify woody species for both native and invasive species. Then we will go outside to look at plants in their environment to look at bark and overall structure of the plants.

An email with specific details will be sent to you approximately 2-5 days before the course.
