The Marshall Area Garden Club, Inc. and the Marshall Area District Library are offering an on-line program on “Invasive Plant Species in Michigan” on Tuesday, October 20 at 7 p.m.
Fallon Januska, Coordinator of Barry, Calhoun, Kalamazoo Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (BCK CISMA) will present the program. She grew up in Muskegon and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Biology with an Aquatic Science Emphasis from Grand Valley State University. As an undergraduate she spent multiple summers working at Annis Water Resources Institute at Grand Valley. In 2016, she started with the Saginaw Bay CISMA as a member of the Strike Team and in January of 2017, she became the Coordinator of the Saginaw Bay CISMA. She started as our local CISMA Coordinator in August of 2018. She will talk about the benefits of natives vs. the detriments of invasive species and describe ways everyone can help prevent the spread of invasive plants. Fallon says, “Invasive species can teach us a lot about unintended consequences and the importance of identifying the upstream and downstream effects of our actions. Navigating through complex systems reminds us that there is still much more to know to better inform our decisions.”
