The MM-CISMA increases our ability to work together across jurisdictional lines, coordinating prevention, early detection and rapid response to invasive species both on land and in our lakes and streams. Currently, the MM-CISMA is prioritizing black swallow-wort, Japanese knotweed, and invasive phragmites. Through education and outreach, identification and reporting, and treatment of invasive species, we hope to spread the word, not the species, in Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Ionia counties.

Oriental bittersweet is a woody vine that grows on trees, eventually girdling them and killing them. Do not use them to make holiday decorations and wreaths as this can facilitate its spread to new areas. #orientalbittersweet #invasivespecies #holidaydecoration

Spotted lanternfly egg masses can be detected from September until June. Not yet found in Michigan, this invasive pest is causing harm out east. Females can lay their eggs on nearly any surface including vehicles. This means the spotted lanternfly can be easily spread.
