West Michigan Conservation Network
The West Michigan Conservation Network, formerly the West Michigan CISMA, covers Allegan, Kent, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, and Ottawa Counties. This organization is a volunteer organization composed of environmental groups, governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, and private citizens all working together to address invasive species on a local scale. The goal of this group is provide outreach on invasive species and their impacts as well conducting invasive species management on both public and private land.
This project was funded in part with funds from the Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program through the Departments of Natural Resources, Environmental Quality, and Agriculture and Rural Development.
