Join us in celebrating our invasive species team at the SWxSW Corner CISMA Annual Meeting on February 11 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the Van Buren ISD Conference Center (490 S Paw Paw St, Lawrence, MI 49064).
Invasive species are non-native species whose introduction causes harm to our economy, environment, and human health.
The SWxSW Corner CISMA provides education, resources, and management of invasive species in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties. Come learn about the CISMA, local invasive species work, and meet the staff. The event will also feature a presentation by Aquatic Ecologist Erick Elgin about aquatic invasive species.
Pre-registration is required and is posted below. For questions or assistance, please contact CISMA Coordinator Alex Florian.
