In the Midwest, bush honeysuckle severely impacts natural communities
and native species, but control of bush honeysuckle and other exotic shrubs is
often difficult and very costly. The use of aerial applications for
managing dense stands provides an option that can be inexpensive and
effective. The Missouri Department of Conservation, Illinois Department
of Natural Resources, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service have been
investigating this technique, including its effectiveness and the response from
the native community. This webinar will discuss traditional management
techniques for bush honeysuckle, ongoing research and implementation of aerial
applications, and future directions.
