Through SEWISC programs and projects
We strive to provide resources for control of invasive species and establishment of native communities in Southeastern Wisconsin. This year, SEWISC had the opportunity to assist 28 organizations, agencies and homeowners through various program funding from EPA/USFS Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, The James E. Dutton Foundation, We Energies Foundation and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Invasive species controlled and managed through these efforts include: invasive buckthorns and honeysuckles, multiflora rose, black locust, burning bush, oriental bittersweet, garlic mustard, dame’s rocket, autumn olive, hairy willow herb, wild chervil, lesser celandine, giant hogweed, lyme grass, baby’s breath, yellow iris, purple loosestrife, burdock, java water dropwort, reed mannagrass, common reed grass, golden creeper, Japanese knotweed, barberry and hedge parsley.
