"A healthy landscape is one of the best ways to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species, including aquatic and wetland species. Since 2019 the UW Madison Extension Aquatic Invasive Species Program has been contracting with Melinda Myers LLC to do outreach to gardeners with “wet feet”. With Melinda as our trusted spokesperson, we have reached thousands of people. In 2023, WDNR Organisms in Trade Coordinator Elizabeth Tanner began a new partnership with Melinda and her team. We have shared resources to reach even more gardeners in Wisconsin, the Midwest and beyond. This poster celebrates our success, shares what we are learning and provides tools you can also use to help this eager audience prevent the spread of invasive species.
