Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
Many of the tribes have recreational areas open to public where the movement of firewood is a real threat. There are also many firework distributors on tribal lands that receive large shipments of fireworks and this could be a potential pathway. They will also survey near storage garages, warehouses, and food distribution centers located on tribal lands in wisconsin. This will act as a second line of defense in case pests are missed at port inspections: for FY26, locations have been selected for EAB purple prism traps. The USDA aphis PPQ 2018 EAB survey guidelines and USDA EAB program manual will be used to direct the proper deployment of these traps. Wisconsin tribes have selected survey locations near recreational areas to look for the OAK ambrosia beetle. Some of these areas are already being impacted by the fungus ceratocystis fagacearum. Protocols for these surveys will follow the aphis PPQ exotic wood borer and bark beetle survey guidance. Tribes will also continue trapping for pine tree lappet and siberian silk moth at their discretion. They will follow approved methods for trap type, trap trap lure, and placement. Tribal staff and seasonal workers will also follow approved protocols for traps placed in the orchard. The wtcac pest survey specialist provided survey documents to the tribal staff participating in the program and created a more condensed survey protocol from these documents to be used as a quick reference. Any insects found in traps will be sent to federally approved identifiers for verification/confirmation. Deliverables and expected outcomes: the value of early pest detection lies in minimizing losses that may result from widespread pest damage and the associated mitigation costs, particularly on tribal lands. This marks the seventh year of a coordinated survey approach conducted through a tribal non-profit group on tribal lands in wisconsin. This project aims to benefit everyone through a unified and targeted strategy for conducting surveys in these areas. Wtcac's tribal pest survey program is not only coordinating pest survey implementations but also providing education and outreach to community members and tribal technical staff regarding these pests and the PPA 7721 program. This initiative operates with goal 1 and goal 5 funding from PPA 7721, which allows for the hiring of four native american seasonal workers. Their time is divided between assisting with survey efforts and conducting community education and outreach. This year's survey aims to enhance survey efforts across potential pathways on tribal lands and forge strong partnerships with aphis PPQ and other pest detection agencies, such as the wisconsin department of agriculture and consumer protection and the wisconsin first detectors network, to create a more cohesive effort. Wtcac will continue to work with all tribes in wisconsin who wish to participate in pest surveys and make every effort to expand opportunities to conduct pest surveys for interested tribes. Intended beneficiary(IES): tribal communities, farmers, orchards, timber industry, foresters, arborists, plant nursery industry, landscapers, firewood producers, hunters/campers/other outdoors recreationists, and members of the general public. This will serve all residents of wisconsin and visitors to the state who benefit F ROM our natural landscape resources.
