It’s not every day that a new invasive species is discovered for the first time in our state. Hear how partners came together on short notice to respond to a new NR40 Prohibited species that was discovered along the coastal areas of Northeast Wisconsin in late summer of 2021. We’ll begin with a crash course in European frogbit 101 including its origin, identification (featuring live specimens!), and ecological impacts before diving into a summary of the 2021 response effort, successes and challenges, and future management plans. Finally, we’ll share some ribbiting lessons learned and shovel ready ways to help that’ll leave you feeling ready to hop to it.
