This file is a sign application exhibit from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Ferndale Ridge Wildlife Management Area (WMA) woody invasives control project. The document serves as a template notice to be posted at treatment areas informing the public that the WMA is being managed for user safety and to protect against the spread of exotic species. The sign indicates that designated segments have been treated with pesticides to control invasive species such as buckthorn, and warns the public not to consume berries or other forest vegetation in treatment areas. The document includes fields for recording the treatment date, specific pesticides used, reentry restrictions in hours, applicator initials, and applicator company information. Contact information for the Rochester Wildlife Office is provided for additional inquiries.
