Layout of Newsletter by: Susan Slapnick - [email protected] Plants out of Place INVASIVE PLANTS ASSOCIATION OF WISCONSIN 2 Comments from the President Your association’s Board has been busy. Time to give you an update. We gathered for an all-day planning meeting in early March. Our facilitator, Melinda Habecker from UW-Extension in Dane County, guided us in reviewing three main areas: maximizing the impact of IPAW’s Board, maximizing the impact of our Committees, and increasing the involvement and activity of IPAW’s membership. Several ways to enhance the organization were identified; the Board is already implementing some of these and considering others. The board is meeting monthly (normally we convene every two months) to keep the momentum as we strive to help IPAW grow and evolve. IPAW membership will have ample opportunity to help us invigorate our committees and revitalize member participation in IPAW activities. We have a new Vice President! Dr. Tom Hunt of UW-Platteville willingly accepted the nomination and was elected in March. IPAW’s outgoing Vice President, Rolf Utegaard, is a founding member of IPAW and the only vice president the organization has ever had. As a member of the “inner circle” since the be- ginning, he is a walking history of IPAW and has done much to promote and foster our growth. While stepping down as VP, Rolf continues to chair our Communication Committee and will still attend meetings related to invasive plants to staff our display, to educate and to recruit. Thanks for your dedicated and ex- cellent service to IPAW, Rolf! We have two new board members to represent the interests of the “green industry” within IPAW. Join me in welcoming and congratulating Anne Walker and Matt Schmitz on their election and in thanking them for their willingness to serve. You will find information on each of them in this newsletter. I wish you a fruitful summer, and I hope our paths will cross at one or more of the events planned for Inva- sive Species Awareness Month. Jerry Doll Clarissa Hammond, IPAW’s New Program Assistant Clarissa Hammond is originally from Dowling, Michi- gan, and came to Madison in 2003 to enter the graduate program in weed ecology at the UW Department of Agronomy. She graduated in the fall of 2005 and began working as a Plant Pest and Disease Specialist in the Pest Survey section of the Plant Industry Bureau of the Wis- consin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). In her position she surveys for in- sect, weed and disease pests, writes articles for the Wis- consin Pest Bulletin, and is becoming involved with DATCP’s biocontrol program. Clarissa’s first introduction to IPAW was through the website. She used the IPAW survey forms as a model for developing data sheets for some of her work at DATCP. She became interested in working with IPAW after read- ing the IPAW mission statement and attending the annual meeting in Milwaukee. Clarissa says, “I like the way IPAW is taking action to educate and collaborate with others to increase awareness of invasive plants.” She is pleased to be involved with IPAW and looks forward to Clarissa Hammond is IPAW’s new her work with the organization in the coming year.

    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.

Peacefulness and simplicity await hikers, bikers, paddlers, and adventure seekers at many Wisconsin National Parks, National Forest Service areas and other federally designated spots. For those looking to take a carefree road trip, Wisconsin scenic byways offer spectacular views. While other state parks across the country are overcrowded with visitors year round, these lesser-known Wisconsin destinations offer authentic and memorable experiences, with plenty of space for yourself, or your family. Great Wisconsin Birding & Nature Trail The Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail (608/266-7012; www.wisconsinbirds.org/trail) is a mapped trail that reaches into every area of the state.
