What Has Wandered Into Backbone State Park?
<p>Oriental bittersweet is a major problem at Backbone State Park in Dundee, Iowa, and in many woodlands across the state. At Trees Forever’s upcoming “What Has Wandered Into Backbone?” Workshop, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will unveil their top invasive species threats in Iowa, which finds Oriental Bittersweet right at the top of the list. </p><p><br></p><p>During this workshop on Friday, September 20, from 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. (registration starts at 10 a.m.), landowners will learn to care for their woodlands and how to identify and treat invasive species. The group will start at Backbone Golf and Country Club (located at 1244 400th Street in Strawberry Point) before touring parts of Backbone State Park.</p><p><br></p><p>“In the fall of 2017, we started treating one heavily infested area with chemicals and another with prescribed burns,” Iowa Department of Natural Resources forest health specialist Tivon Feeley said. “Now we will show landowners the difference between the two plots, and they can decide what treatment is more effective. We hope this will help private landowners deal with Oriental bittersweet and other invasive plants in an effort to revive and maintain our native ecosystem.”</p><p><br></p><p> “Native plants provide more benefits for the environment than non-native plants, including better food and habitat for animals and pollinators,” Trees Forever field coordinator Patty Reisinger explains. “Learn about the resources available so you can help us protect our native ecosystem by removing invasive species and implementing sound land management practices.”</p><p><br></p><p>The $10 registration fee covers lunch and handouts. Register online at <a href="http://www.TreesForever.org/whathaswanderedintobackbone">www.TreesForever.org/whathaswanderedintobackbone</a></p><p><br></p><p>This event is possible thanks to a partnership between Trees Forever, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Forest Service and Syngenta’s Operation Pollinator.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information, contact: Patty Reisinger, <a href="mailto:preisinger@treesforever.org">preisinger@treesforever.org</a>, 319-350-4185.</p><p align="center">###</p> 2019-09-13 15:00:00 -0500

Linn County Blindness Support Group
<p>If you are blind or experiencing loss of vision, life can be pretty scary if you don’t have any tools or connections to deal with the situation. Participating in a support group can help you find that you are not alone, and together we can share tips and tricks we have found to overcome difficulties posed by loss of vision. Though not a part of the Iowa Department for the Blind (IDB), support groups also act as a liaison with that state agency that provides training, equipment, and counseling to those with vision loss.</p><p><br></p><p>The Linn County blindness support group will have its next regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, 27 September 2019 from 1:00 p.m. to approximately 3:00 p.m. in Sedlacek Hall at Cottage Grove Place, 2115 1<sup>st</sup> Av SE, in Cedar Rapids.</p><p><br></p><p>We will have no outside speaker at this month’s meeting, but that gives us the opportunity to have some discussion among ourselves. Please come prepared to talk about an aspect of blindness/loss of vision that has been particularly problematic for you, and how you’ve tried to deal with that. If you have great solutions to share, we’ll benefit from that. If you have found no solutions, other members of the group may have ideas that are of help. We may not have time to deal with all people’s offerings, but can return to this subject at a later date.</p><p><br></p><p>We will devote some time to discussing pros and cons of the Lions Club’s invitation for us to organize as a Lions Club. Most of the remaining time will be for those of us who are iPhone users. Our own Matthew Taylor will continue the training from last month. If you stay around for this, it may continue till around 3:30</p><p><br></p><p>If you have questions, or want more information about the group, feel free to call Jonathan Ice at 319-298-2919, or e-mail at <a href="mailto:jkice89@q.com">jkice89@q.com</a>.</p> 2019-09-13 03:30:00 -05009/26/191:00 a.m.Cottage Grove PlaceCedar Rapids -
