Northwoods Cooperative Weed Management Area's mission: Working Together to Protect Northern Wisconsin from Invasive Species

The Northwoods Cooperative Weed Management Area (NCWMA) is a collective group of state and federal agencies, Tribes, local towns, community associations, non-profit organizations, and individuals who have come together to combat invasive species in northern Wisconsin. We work together throughout Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas and Iron Counties.

Let's leave our campsite cleaner than we found it! We're continuing our work with Northwestern High School FFA to remove buckthorn from camp. Partnering with the Nebagamon Lake Association, Northwoods Cooperative W**d Management Area, and local organizers, students removed tons of the invasive species from our property last weekend. We're so thankful for their hard work! 🌿

We had a great time treating buckthorn and invasive honeysuckle at Camp Nebagamon with FFA students from Northwestern High School last weekend! What a great group of students! This is part of a W**d Mangement Area-Private Forest Grant from the Wisconsin DNR.

How many larvae of Galerucella calmariensis beetles can you see on these purple loosestrife leaves? Look close! We are raising these larvae as a biocontrol project in a mass rearing tent. We will release the 1,000s of beetles that will hatch into purple loosestrife infestations within our region to help manage the purple loosestrife.

Keep a lookout for this plant! It hasn't been found in our area, but it could be out there spreading and undetected.

The NCWMA and our partners are working to raise Gallerucella beetles for controlling purple loosestrife. After digging up and potting purple loosestrife in a mass rearing cage on April 30th, the purple loosestrife took its time to grow with the cool spring weather. On June 9th, a group of partners went out gathering beetles to add to the mass rearing cage. We have also set up a purple loosestrife biocontrol pool by the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center.
