To clarify <br /> a few points in Mikes plan, I would suggest the following: <br /> Invasive plant management <br /> I recommend Mike consider modifications to invasive species treatment in his plan, including the following: <br /> • Invasive brush (honeysuckle/European buckthorn) — cut within 6 inches of ground surface and promptly treat top <br /> of cut stem surface with 20% glyphosate (Roundup) solution (4 parts water, 1 part glyphosate concentrate). <br /> • Garlic mustard can be treated from fall to early spring with a 1.5-3% solution of glyphosate. <br /> • Leafy spurge is perhaps best treated with Plateau in fall. Selective hand pulling or targeted spot spraying with a <br /> broadleaf herbicide may also work with repeated efforts. <br /> Additional information on the treatment of invasive plants can be found at: <br /> • WI DNR http://dnr.wi.gov/invasives/species.asp?filterBy=Terrestrial&filterVal=Y <br /> • MN DNR www.dnr.state.mn.us (available again after shutdown is over) <br /> Tree size: Please have Mike let us know the size of the tree stock they are installing, so we know what to expect. Trees <br /> should be a minimum of 1"or 1.5"caliper stock or ANSI (American National Standards Institute) equivalent. <br /> i <br />
