BMP StructureBMP 4.4: Prior to moving equipment onto and off of an activityarea, scrape or brush soil and debris from exterior surfaces, to
the extent practical, to minimize the risk of transportingpropagules.Considerations:
Foresters, landowners, and loggers may agree to additional cleaning methods.
Preferred locations for cleaning equipment areas are those where:
Monitoring can be conducted at a later date, perhaps in conjunction with post-harvest visits. See Chapter 2: Elements of Invasive Species Managementfor
guidance on monitoring for invasives. Equipment is unloaded and loaded.
Invasives are less likely to spread from cleaned equipment.
Invasive species are already established
Equipment with the ability to run fans in reverse should use this feature to clean airintakes. Fans and air intakes can harbor plant materials and insects. Reversing thefan direction and blowing loose material out of equipment before leaving a site can
reduce the likelihood of moving species to another site. Heat exhausted from theengine when fans are reversed may kill some insects and plant parts.
In areas where invasive species are present, it is a good practice to routinely removesoil, seeds, vegetative matter, or other debris from shoes, clothing, and tools.
To reduce need for equipment cleaning, carry out work under conditions thatminimize the risk of spread, e.g., frozen ground, snow cover, seed/propaguleabsence, etc. (See Figure 2 in Chapter 4 and Appendix G athttp://council.wisconsinforestry.org/.)

species or target species when prescribing activitiesthat result in soil disturbance or increased sunlight

OUTREACH- the past and present
Presentations for many audiences:
- Loggers, foresters, landowners- Focus oncommunication, identification
- Master Gardeners,
- transportation, utilities,
- many recreation groups
Gaps
- reaching unaffiliated landowners
- how to reach users- lack of $$ dictates
sometimes

OUTREACH- the past and present
I noticed that it often doesn't take much time to do a
little control or sale manipulation to prevent a much
larger invasive problem down the road (both examples
above were done in less than a day by one person).
Were supposed to do this now and it makes sense to
leave the cleaning debris where we got it instead of at
the next job site

Final Product
Intended to be used by other states
as a model.
Easily adopted and adapted. Contacted already by several states,
some choosing to go through own
process.

Outreach- the future
Important to convince folks of the threat
Online Forestry BMP training
Series of Powerpoints with photos and
video. Detailed BMP path and example based path
Accessible by all
Spread the word!
Others tracks for more audiences can be
developed if this is successful
