Citizen Scientists & Landowners, We Need You!
Green Ribbon Initiative (GRI) partners are attempting to record the location of 15 priority species within conservation areas across the region so that land stewards have a better understanding of where high-threat populations exist and how to predict potential future populations. But, in order to get a full picture of what is on the landscape, it is vital that private landowners participate as citizen scientists and report invasive species found on their properties to the Midwest Invasive Species Information Network (MISIN).
