Thank You to Everyone Who Made UMISC Possible - mailchi.mp/umisc/thank-yo…
Quarantines restrict movement of invasive pests and diseases to limit their spread. However, regulation isn’t always the answer. Come to the Landscape Scale Management session at UMISC to learn how DATCP makes quarantine regulation decisions for plant pests in Wisconsin.
Got #invasivecarp? #USGS scientists conduct early detection and removal efforts and to conduct research on deterrents to slow and hopefully reverse the spread of these invaders. More at usgs.gov/special-topics…
Conference attendees are invited to join the European Frog-bit Collaborative for a social hour on Wednesday Nov 13th! efbcollaborative.net

New Season Coming Soon! The Introduced podcast, from @UWiscSeaGrant and @GLCommission, tells stories of new research, new lessons, and never-before-documented AIS stories. See you at UMISC! Find Introduced on your favorite podcast app or at seagrant.wisc.edu/audio/introduc…
Phytophthora ramorum is a plant pathogen that causes sudden oak death in trees and ramorum blight in other plants. Come to the Tree Diseases session at UMISC to learn about DATCP’s early detection of P. ramorum to protect forest health and the green industry of the Midwest.
We're adding a grace period to UMISC registration. Registration for in-person attendance will remain open until Noon on Wednesday October 23rd. We're happy to see so many people signing up and we look forward to connecting with you in November. umisc.net/registration.h…
