SINCE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS PROJECT, UP PHRAGMITES COALITION PARTNERS HAVE WORKED ON IMPLEMENTING ITS INVASIVE PHRAGMITES COST-SHARE PROGRAM WITH LANDOWNERS OF MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN WITHIN THE LAKE MICHIGAN WATERSHED. PROJECT PARTNERS HAVE MAILED OUT OVER 2,100 LANDOWNER COST-SHARE LETTERS, PERFORMED OVER 320 SITE VISITS, AND SURVEYED MORE THAN 4,500 ACRES FOR PHRAGMITES ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE, COASTAL WETLANDS, & PRIORITY INTERIOR SITES. AS A RESULT,L 32.6 NEW ACRES OF PHRAGMITES HAVE BEEN TREATED AND 77.4 ACRES OF RETREATMENTS HAVE OCCURRED IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN.OFFICIALLY CLOSED PROJECT JUNE, 2023. 295322 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY-GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE (EPA PHRAG)--EXPANDING PHRAGMITES MANAGEMENT IN MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA-- FACILITATED A UP WIDE EFFORT TO FUNCTIONALLY ERADICATE PHRAGMITES FROM MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA, IN PARTICULAR THE LAKE SUPERIOR WATERSHED THROUGH A JOINT PARTNERSHIP EFFORT WITH DNR FISHERIES DIVISION AND ALL 5 UP CISMAS TO SURVEY 8,750 LINEAR MILES AND TREAT 77 ACRES.
