USFS GLRI CWMA Protecting the Borders of the Hiawatha National Forest
$49,553

The Hiawatha National Forest is a natural wonder of abundant wildlife, trails, streams, and shorelines of the three largest great lakes. This forest is visited by thousands of tourists each year. The Hiawatha National Forest faces the severe threat of the spread of non-native invasive plants by both tourists and neighboring landowners. This project aims to support the management efforts of the Three Shores CISMA and Hiawatha National Forest staff within the national forest by targeting surveys and removal of NNIS on neighboring properties of five GLRI priority species, as well as provide educational outreach to tourists and landowners.

EPA UPRCD Expanding Phragmites Management in Michigan's Upper Peninsula Subaward
$107,186

The Upper Peninsula Phragmites Coalition is a partnership of federal, state, and local agencies, Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas (CISMAs), non-profit organizations, and private landowners that manage Phragmites infestations in Michigan’s U.P. Previous UPPC projects have successfully managed Phragmites along the Lake Michigan shoreline, and now focus can shift to efforts in the Lake Superior and northern Lake Michigan watersheds. This project includes comprehensive early detection surveys, control and management of all infestations, and planning for long-term habitat restoration. Expanding this partnership will be critical for the continued reduction in Phragmites biomass in the U.P. and the protection of its high-quality natural resources.
