MNFI's Invasive Plant Species of Michigan

MNFI has created a pocket field guide for invasive species with funding provided by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Our goal is to provide a useful tool for early detection and to stimulate a rapid response. We have included enough information to readily identify invasives, particularly emerging problem species, along with initial guidance for beginning control efforts.
