Under the direction of the Council on Forestry, an advisory committee of forest stakeholders developed the Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species. The BMPs are designed to provide a framework of voluntary practices to limit the further spread and introduction of invasive plants, invertebrates, and diseases.

Four public listening sessions are planned for August on the proposed voluntary Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species. During these sessions, the goal will be to provide the basic groundwork on Forestry BMPs, and solicit comments and feedback to be incorporated into a final document. Attendees will have an opportunity to view a presentation on the voluntary invasive BMPs and have a chance to ask questions at a series of "information stations" in an open house setting.
The listening sessions, all of which will start at 4 p.m., will be held at the following locations.
- Aug. 18 in Rhinelander, at Rhinelander City Hall, 135 S. Stevens St.
- Aug. 19 in Stevens Point, at the Portage County Courthouse Annex, 1462 Strongs Ave.
- Aug. 20 in Spooner, at the Spooner Ag Research Station, W6646 Highway 70.
- Aug. 21 in Madison, at the Madison Public Library-Hawthorne Branch, 2707 E. Washington Ave.
