Informational Meeting regarding Hemlock Wooly Adelgid in Cobmoosa

8/25/2021

Save the Date: September 8, 2:00 PM

The Tree Committee of the Cobmoosa Shores Association has organized an informational meeting to help us learn more about HWA (e.g. how to identify trees infected with HWA) and what can be done (e.g. treatment options for HWA infected trees, prophylactic treatment options for uninfected Hemlocks). The experts invited to conduct this meeting are Drew Raynor (West Michigan HWA Coordinator, Michigan Department of Natural Resources) and Keely Dunham-Adkins (West Michigan CISMA Coordinator, Ottawa Conservation District).

This meeting is open to all members of the CSA. While the Tree Committee is still evaluating the best location for this meeting to allow for the greatest number to attend, I wanted you to “save the date” now. I will send a followup eNewsletter with the location.

Immediately following the informational meeting, Drew and Keely will lead a walk through Cobmoosa to help you identify what HWA looks like. As pointed out in an earlier eNewsletter, you may wish to visit this website to learn more.

Oceana County Hazardous Waste Collection

8/9/2021

The annual household hazardous waste collection is scheduled for August 21 at the Hart Department of Public Works located at 1010 State Street in Hart. Residents of Oceana County have the opportunity to drop off unused or outdated cleaners, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, grease, oil, varnishes, batteries, and more. This program helps protect the state's natural resources and prevents pollution by ensuring safe disposal of hazardous waste. For a complete list of items that are accepted (and not accepted), please visit the HHW page on the Oceana Conservation District website. A suggested minimum donation of $10 will be requested upon entry.

This service is made possible through the work and effort of a three-county HHW Committee, financial contributions from local governments including the counties, cities, villages, and townships in Oceana, Mason and Manistee Counties, as well as donations from local organizations and private donors.
