Residents of the Grand Traverse region go to great lengths to care for our natural world. In recent years, area land managers have grown increasingly concerned about how invasive species are impacting the region, and so they have joined together in forming the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network (ISN).

Coordinated by the Grand Traverse Conservation District with funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, ISN partners in Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Grand Traverse, and Leelanau counties work to survey and manage invasive species in regional natural areas, as well as to educate the public about our shared natural resources.
