A sooty tern colony on Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, recovered by brodifacoum-laced bait applied by Island Conservation, The Nature Conservancy and the U.S.
Thanks for this Ted. I used to be a “never poison” person in regard to non-native invasive plant removal. I watched my hard work quickly swallowed back up. Realizing what I was doing was not working I did some homework and have landed on triclopyr as my main go-to product for the woody/stemmy invasives we have here in southern Missouri. I still try to reduce the amount of poison i need to use by doing as much manual removal as possible, some burning off and working with the seasons. As gifts I give my friends bingo daubers with triclopyr and food coloring when they tell me they’re cutting down callery pear or autumn olive for example. My plan is to start a native plant nursery and help people get control of their yards and start giving wildlife the native food sources they need. If any resources come to mind that might be helpful to me please send them my way. Thanks again!
