Michigan’s Terrestrial Invasive Species State Management Plan provides a strategy for preventing introductions of invasive species on land and reducing impacts from those that have arrived. The TIS State Management Plan provides guidance to the state of Michigan and its broad network of invasive species partners for TIS management. The program is cooperatively implemented by the Michigan Departments of Agriculture & Rural Development, Environmental Quality and Natural Resources.

Terrestrial Invasive Species Management Plan - Public Comments and Response
In 2009, the Michigan Natural Features Inventory, through a contract with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, completed an assessment of the status of invasive plants in Michigan and developed a strategy to address their negative impacts to wildlife. This strategy was written before Michigan had a state-wide network of cooperative invasive species management areas (CISMAs) or the Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program and therefore may be outdated when referring to specific species or locations. However, many resources, recommendations, and strategies are still applicable today.
