Michigan webinar series focuses on invasive species

LANSING – Want to learn more about efforts across the state to prevent and control harmful land and water invaders?

Check the Michigan Invasive Species Program’s NotMISpecies webinars at https://www.michigan.gov/egle/0,9429,7-135-3308_3333-539592–,00.html?utm_campaign=news+digest+january2021+week3&utm_medium=digest&utm_source=govdelivery.

The live, monthly series features people on the front lines of invasive species response. A question-and-answer period follows each presentation.

The series returns at 9 a.m. Eastern time Feb. 16. “Ahoy, Boaters!” considers the relationship between recreational boating and the spread of aquatic invasive species and explores activities and resources available through Clean Boats, Clean Waters and MI Paddle Stewards — two programs helping boaters and lake associations identify invasives and prevent their spread.

“Why Spotted Lanternfly?” at 9 a.m. March 25 focuses on the threat posed by one of the newest invasive pests on Michigan’s watch list.

“Not in MI Waters” at 9 a.m. April 20 dives into the world of technicians and biologists responding to new aquatic invasive plant detections.
