Invasive Species Information and Control

PicturePhragmites, phragmites australis

Invasive species have negative ecological, economic, social and public health impacts. They have been widely identified as a serious threat to global and local biodiversity. Once established, they often out-compete native species for limited resources such as food and habitat, alter and damage existing habitat, displace native species and in some cases prey directly upon native species. Their impacts are found in our waterways, along our roadsides, in our wilderness areas and in both rural and urban communities.

General information about invasive species and their control:
  • Michigan Invasive Species
  • Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative
  • Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
  • Michigan Department of Natural Resources
  • Midwest Invasive Species Information Network
  • National Invasive Species Information Center


Species Specific Information:
  • Phragmities (stay tuned)
  • Buckthorn (stay tuned)
  • Stiltgrass (stay tuned)
