The OCD has grant funds to provide treatment for Phragmites, Japanese Knotweed (also known as Michigan bamboo), and Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Landowners who have had treatments in previous years will be contacted to re-treat if necessary. If you think you have any of these three invasive species on your property, you may wish to come to an upcoming workshop on Thursday, July 12, from 7 to 8 PM, at the Hart Community Center to learn how to identify species on our watch list and to sign up for treatments. If you can not make the meeting and you think that you have Phragmites, Japanese Knotweed, or Hemlock Woolly Adelgid on your property, please contact Suzie Knoll at the OCD office by calling (231) 861-5600 or via email at suzie.knoll@macd.org. You will be asked to send or deliver a photo of the invasive plant(s) and sign a landowner agreement form in order for treatment to begin.
