This grant is for the purpose of preserving unique habitats within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s Ly-co-ki-we Trail area by removing invasive plant species. Targeting a 20-acre zone along 1.7 miles of trail, two SCA personnel will identify and treat problematic plants such as honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and Japanese barberry. Treatment methods will include manual cutting with herbicide application to stumps, and foliar herbicide spraying. The initiative aims to protect forest, savanna, prairie, and wetland ecosystems, with potential for creating additional buffer zones against re-invasion if resources permit.
