The Daviess-Martin Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) recently joined forces with ProTEQ volunteers and the Indiana DNR for a successful Weed Wrangle at Glendale Fish & Wildlife Area. On April 13th, 14 volunteers and partners dedicated their Saturdays to removing invasive plants from 8.5 acres of the property. This year, volunteers not only cut and treated invasive shrubs but also assisted the DNR in following up on previous work using their Fecon forestry mulcher. Volunteers combined mechanical and chemical control methods, helping native plants regrow without invasive plant competition. The event was supported by the Martin and Daviess County SWCDs. Groups interested in volunteering for invasive plant removal can contact SWCD Invasive Specialist Emily Finch or Glendale Property Manager Rob Sullender.
