Endangered Species Habitat Program Manager
Wisconsin Dept of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection
DATCP’s state program
Mission:
To protect federally listed* species and
their native habitats in Wisconsin from
pesticide injury and related impacts while
minimizing economic impacts on affected
parties
1. We are helping EPA with their mandate to
protect federally listed* species from pesticide harm
2. We also assist with state listed* species where pesticide
or ag concerns exist
* Listed = on the endangered and threatened species list
DATCP program actions
• 1. Contacts, education, protection
plans with site owners, managers,
other pesticide users, general public
• 2. Training and assistance to
protection partners and agencies
• 3. Funding endangered species
related pesticide research
• 4. Caging, fencing, tagging, mapping
• 5. Monitoring sites and species
Monitoring sites and species
• Inspection of sites for health and
biodiversity of native species, pesticide
impacts, other problems
• Soil, water and tissue sampling for
pesticide residues and ammonia
• Photo points and GPS locations to track
changes in native species and invasives,
management impacts, etc
• Species monitoring – presence and
numbers, pollination success, other info
