Starting on Monday, Oct. 20, over 650 people will be in Duluth, Minn., talking about tools for controlling invasive species at the Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference. The tools are as basic as leather gloves and fire and as high-tech as bubble fences and Judas fish that betray the location of their invasive kin via GPS implants.
Private landowners, county staff, academics and federal resource managers, alike, are attending the three-day conference to exchange information about ways to stop the spread of plagues such as emerald ash borers, buckthorn and zebra mussels.
