Get Involved
There are many ways you can get involved in addressing invasive species issues. Preventing new invasions and preventing the spread of existing invasions are top priorities. You can help by learning how invasive species are spread and by reporting new invasions or suspicious species (report online to MISIN, the Midwest Invasive Species Information Network). There are also many opportunities for volunteers to get involved by pulling invasive plant species in parks, neighborhoods and other areas. If you're a landowner, you may also be able to individually treat or control invasive species on your property - see Species Profiles for more details.
While we will always have invasive species in Michigan, we can prevent many new invasions, control priority existing invasions and lessen the impacts.

| • The Stewardship Network's Invasive Species Control Events The Stewardship Network offers a broad range of events to increase our collective capacity to protect, restore and manage natural lands and waters. The events may be a cluster workday/workshop held at a local natural area, a local garlic mustard pull as part of the Network-wide Garlic Mustard Challenge, or one of many events listed by a variety of other organizations.
