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.

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.
