In 2024, Michigan’s Invasive Species Program began assembling a team to focus on emerging populations of new invasive species and tree diseases on state lands. Today, four foresters and two wildlife biologists are hard at work detecting and managing watch list and high priority invasive species on 4.6 million acres of state forests, parks, recreation areas and game and wildlife areas. Join Michigan’s Invasive Species Response Team forester Gwen Grochowski and wildlife biologist Natalie Bekins to find out how their team’s efforts to detect and manage invasives are protecting critical habitats in your favorite outdoor places.

 

Accommodations Deadline: Individuals needing language assistance or accommodations for effective participation should contact Joel Roseberry at RoseberryJ@Michigan.gov by January 21, 2026 to request language, mobility, visual, hearing, translation, and/or other assistance.
