ISN's 2019 Events Have Been Scheduled

Join us at one (or more) of our events this year! We look forward to hosting workbees, community workshops, trainings, and invasive species disposal days throughout the spring and summer. All dates and additional information can be found by visiting the Events/Workbees page.  Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions. 

ISN staff also give public presentations upon request for a nominal fee. These presentations can be catered to your group's interests but typically focus on invasive species issues in northwest Michigan with an emphasis on diversifying habitat and utilizing native plants. Contact Outreach Specialist, Emily Cook, for more information: ecook@gtcd.org or (231)941-0960 x20.
