New approach will test the removal of invasives at Iowa’s Backbone State Park
Published: , in Outdoor News
Iowa Department of Natural Resources foresters are using a novel plan to eliminate invasive species, testing that approach at Backbone State Park near Strawberry Point.
The approach involves using a bulldozer and excavator to pull out decimated pine trees and invading plants in the infested area, planting brohm grass, killing resurgent broad-leaf plants and planting seedlings in the affected acreage. The project will take up to three years to complete.
