CISMAs places bounty on Bradford Pear trees The local Cooperative Invasive Species Manage- ment Areas (CISMAs) are placing a 'bounty' on the head of all Bradford Pear trees (Pyrus calleryana). The Bradford Pear Boun- ty is offered to all residents in Gibson, Pike, Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick County. If you have this ter- rible tree on your proper- ty and are willing to cut it down, the CISMAs will give you a free, locally grown, native tree to replace the pear tree. Simply provide evidence of the tree's de- struction (a picture of the downed tree is enough) to your local Soil and Water Conservation District. Pick- up native trees at locations in each county on April 3 or April 4 depending on your county. Trees are provided by Bur Oak Tree Service in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Bradford, Aristocrat, Chanticleer, Cleveland Se- lect, and Capital Pears are cultivars of Callery Pear trees. Callery Pear trees are considered highly invasive in Indiana. They produce enormous amounts of fruit that birds, particularly non- native European Starlings, consume voraciously. Each fruit contains numerous vi- able seeds and what goes in must come out. New Callery Pear saplings pop up along fence rows, highways, and coincidentally under pow- er lines the birds perch on. These wild pear varieties also develop large thorns along their branches that have been reported to de- stroy tractor tires. These trees quickly spread and threaten woodlands, savan- nas, prairies, and any area with well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine.

Scouts collecting food items for Somebody's Place Ayden Young places a bag on a door along Fifth St. in Peters- burg. He was one of three teams of Boy Scouts going through Pe- tersburg neighborhoods putting a Jay C grocery bag on door- knobs. The Boy Scouts hope people will put non-perish- able food items for Somebody's Place in the bags and place them on their porch this com- ing Saturday. The Scouts will return on Saturday, March 7 and pick the items up and take them to Somebody's Place. Scout Master Larry Hay- craft said the Scouts worked about six hours Saturday after- noon and evening putting out the bags. Earlier in the day, they parked cars at the Polar Plunge.
