Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued guidelines to control invasive plants within the state. One mechanical method is to cut the plants down where they occur. However the time of year the plants are cut down is important in their control. The chart shows the months when it is recommended to cut down the plants and the months when they should not be cut down.

Suggest a reason for not cutting invasive plants at certain times of year.
