Screenshot from the beginning of a webinar showing the title, "What Lies Beneath: Invasive Plants in Michigan Lakes" by Erick Elgin and Jo Latimore. Illustrations of five significant invasive plants from Michigan lakes, including Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, starry stonewort, European frog-bit, and hydrilla. An inset shows one of the speakers, Dr. Jo Latimore.

In May, Erick Elgin and Jo Latimore from our team presented a #NotMISpecies webinar They discussed the value of community science (volunteer monitoring) for finding invasive plants early in Michigan lakes, joined by volunteer from SE Michigan.

Go behind the scenes to see how EGLE staff sprang into action to protect waterways from this extremely invasive plant, and and how the site looks now in 2025: buff.ly/myC8oUe

Thanks to EGLE aquatic biologist Billy Keiper for the excellent #NotMISpecies webinar that made this article possible!

Lesser celandine, an invasive species, is pictured. It's a yellow flower with a green stem and leaves.
