This webinar focuses on the long-term management of Phragmites using an ecosystem approach. Millions of dollars are spent each year to manage non-native Phragmites within the Great Lakes Region. However, Phragmites management is a long-term multistep process that requires: careful planning, site prioritization, clear delineation of management objectives, knowledge of specific management techniques, and a plan for evaluating success. The speakers share their experience managing Phragmites long term and how to move away from the mindset of killing Phragmites and into an adaptive management framework aimed at ecosystem management.
