Jackson, Lenawee and Washtenaw CISMA
About
In order to address invasive species across in the region, a collaborative group of stakeholders from the Jackson, Lenawee and Washtenaw Counties applied for, and received a grant to establish the "Jackson, Lenawee and Washtenaw Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas (JLW CISMA)". The JLW CISMA wants to prevent, detect, eradicate and control invasive species in the area, create a strategic plan for reducing the threat of invasive species and to provide outreach and educational opportunities for local citizens and stakeholder groups . Currently, the JLW CISMA is focusing their efforts on education and outreach. The organization would also like to coordinate and support partner efforts to survey and develop early detection, response and a strategic eradication plan. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the JLW CISMA coordinator, Dr. Shikha Singh at the contact information listed on the right side of the page.

When it warms up and the crayfish are more active, please keep an eye out for the invasive Red swamp crayfish. Look for red bumps along their body. If you are not sure, send us a picture!! #invasivespecies #checkyourtraps #redswampcrayfish #PureMichigan #crayfish
#NationalInvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek , Here is a Red Swamp Crayfish (P. Clarkii).This mom decided to take the children for a stroll in late October! They are invasive to Michigan, and as the water and air temperature drops these crayfish tend to burrow up for the winter.

Last month, our UP restoration associate, Chris, and a few folks from the Alger Conservation District surveyed about 4 miles looking invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid! HWA is an invasive insect native to Asia that has been detected in lower Michigan, but not yet in the UP.
