Save the date! Invasive Species Professional Coming to the Island!

Friday, September 5, 2008

If you would like a specialist to look at your land, or if you are interested in working with local landowners in the restoration and maintenance of native landscapes through invasive species control, please attend this event.

Dick Campbell who was recommended to us by Bill Ruff, Door County DNR Forester and Bob Bultman, Door County Invasive Species Team, is coming to the Island to talk with landowners about identifying and eradicating invasive species. He will also do surveys of the Island and give cost estimates to anyone needing the assistance of a professional.

Dick is currently the Owner and General Manager of Invasive Species Control Specialists and Co-Owner of BC Enterprises, Invasive Species Control Specialists both located in Sturgeon Bay. He is a certified and licensed applicator of herbicides to invasive and other plant species and specializes in eradicating invasive species from shoreline and inland areas.

He has an extensive background in education and marketing and comes highly recommended. He has worked with the DNR and World Wildlife.

Please call (535-0235) or email me (cindy.gaskill@yahoo.com) if you would like Dick to survey your property and we will add you to the schedule for the day. At this time of year, if you have phragmities, it will be the first priority.
