Summary
Brian Mastenbrook reported that the 2007 Beaver Island Phragmites program had treated just over 27 acres at 397 sites, ranging from a single stem to a 2.5-acre site. Because some treatments might not have been fully effective, he planned a final evaluation in spring or early summer. The contractor had agreed to re-treat stands where more than fifteen percent had not been killed. The article also anticipated continued work and public meetings.
Evidence limits
The figures and ecological assessment are source-reported. The article does not provide a treatment map, independent efficacy study, or final re-treatment results.
