Michigan Invasive Species Grant
If you've visited a local boat launch this summer, you may have seen one of our seasonal crew members out and about, educating folks on how to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. (You can learn more about aquatic and terrestrial invasive species that are posing a risk to our area here.) Thanks to funding from the Michigan DNR, MDARD, and EGLE, we’re also decontaminating boats and other watercraft by washing them using a heated pressure washer. The decontamination process only takes a minute (literally—it’s very quick!) but goes a long way toward keeping our waters safe. If you’re interested in having your boat washed, be sure to drop by one of the scheduled locations listed below where our pressure washer will be stationed; click on the locations for directions to each.
