Want to help?

We are now looking for volunteers to help us monitor the success of treatment. We are looking for people to search the treated areas for new occurrences of the invasive species that were treated at the sites through EDDmaps online or the Great Lakes Early Detection Network App.

If you interested in helping us monitor any of these sites, contact Becca Reiss at becca@nslswcd.org or 218-288-6143 for more information.
