Biological Control of Swallow-worts and Knotweeds
Welsch Education Room, Michigan Nature Association Building, 2310 Science Parkway, Okemos, MI 48864
Our guest speaker will be Dr. Marianna Szucs from the Michigan State University Department of Entomology. She will share her research on the potential of using biological control against Swallow-worts and Knotweeds. These invasive plants tend to form monocultures and displace the native plants in the habitat's they invade. Swallow-worts can become an ecological trap for Monarch butterflies and Knotweeds can lower property values. Both plants are very difficult to control with conventional methods. Join us to learn about the potential of biological control to keep them in check. All are welcome to attend.

Our guest speaker will be Dr. Ruth Kline-Robach, Academic Specialist at the Michigan State University Institute of Water Research and Department of Community Sustainability. Pressures on the Red Cedar River include agricultural land use and urban development. Other portions of the watershed have excessive sediment and low levels of dissolved oxygen.
