MSU Extension Urban Alert system for Chouteau County gardeners
Chouteau County gardeners can sign up for “MSU Urban Alert,” a system developed to rapidly share information about plant disease, insect and weed issues in urban settings. Urban Alerts can be set up to go to E-mail or text.
The MSU Urban Alert focuses on issues in homes, gardens, parks or other outdoor urban settings. MSU Urban Alert might warn people to avoid mistaking the fruit of the poisonous vine white bryony with grapes, for example. It could provide the latest information about emerald ash borers or remind people to water their trees in the fall.
MSU Urban Alert is a service provided by the Schutter Diagnostic Lab and MSU Extension. To sign up for the system, go to https://www.montana.edu/extension/ipm/alerts/subscribe.html and scroll down. The Urban Alert signup is underneath the Ag Alert sign up.
For further information about garden and landscape management, please contact the MSU Extension Chouteau County office at 622-3751 or stop in at the green building next to the Chouteau County Courthouse.
