Vegetation Management: Cutting and Removal of Woody Plants by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:25 PM: Methods for the removal of woody vegetation in bog turtle habitat that may vary depending upon the target plant species. Methods include both mechanical or manual techniques.

Vegetation Management: Herbicides by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:25 PM: Succession of many wetlands from open-canopy fens to closed-canopy swamps contributes to the loss of bog turtle habitat. Reviewed here are the herbicide application methods described in the US Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion 2010.

Glossy buckthorn (Frangula alnus) by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:17 PM: Glossy buckthorn is a single stem or at times, multiple stem shrub or small tree that can grow up to approximately 20 feet. Leaves are glossy or shiny on top and have a dull green underside. Leaves are also alternate along branches, entire (smooth edges) to obscurely crenulate (leaf edges have small, rounded teeth). Glossy buckthorn is shade-tolerant. However, it frequently invades sunny spots which is why it is seen growing in open fields, along field edges, along roads and paths, and any other areas that are sunny. Photo credit: Elizabeth J.

Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:17 PM: Multiflora rose is a thorny, perennial shrub with arching stems (canes), and leaves divided into five to eleven sharply toothed leaflets. The base of each leaf stalk bears a pair of fringed bracts. Beginning in May or June, clusters of showy, fragrant, white to pink flowers appear, each about an inch across. Small bright red fruits, or rose hips, develop during the summer, becoming leathery, and remain on the plant through the winter. Multiflora rose is extremely prolific and can form impenetrable thickets that exclude native plant species. This exotic rose readily invades open woodlands, forest edges, successional fields, savannas and prairies that have been subjected to land disturbance.
