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

Doug Tallamy Talk
<p>Join Doug Tallamy, author of <em>Bringing Home Nature,</em> and Professor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, as he presents <strong>“Rebuilding Nature’s Relationships at Home.”</strong></p><p>Presentation starting on September 26, 2019 at 6:30 pm in 101 BBE (Biology Building East)</p><p>Tallamy will explain why specialized food relationships determine the stability and complexity of the local food webs that support animal diversity, why our yards and gardens are essential parts of the ecosystems that sustain us, how we can use our residential landscapes to connect the isolated habitat fragments around us and produce valuable ecosystem services, and what we can do to make our landscapes living ecosystems once again. Managing landscapes in this crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore.</p><p>Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 88 research publications and has taught Insect Taxonomy, Behavioral Ecology, Humans and Nature, Insect Ecology, and other courses for 36 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens was published by Timber Press in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association. The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, was published in 2014. Doug is also a regular columnist for Garden Design magazine. Among his awards, are the Garden Club of America Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation and the Tom Dodd, Jr. Award of Excellence.</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.
