Help remove rusty crayfish in Aug. 10 ‘Rusty Rodeo’ with Kane County Forest District
The Forest Preserve District of Kane County will host its free “Rusty Rodeo” from 10am to 12pm Saturday, Aug. 10, aimed at collecting, identifying and removing rusty crayfish from waterways.
Wisconsin DNR recognized June as Invasive Species Action Month
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources uses the added attention in early summer to increase awareness of invasive species, ask the public to report sightings of and take steps to avoid spreading the non-native plants and animals.
UMD researchers tackle how to remove invasive species inside boats
Anglers and other boaters can use their Shop-Vac, garden hose, an air compressor — and a few minutes of elbow grease — to better clean the nooks and crannies inside their fishing boats to slow the spread of aquatic invasive species.
NotMISpecies webinars go where the action is
The NotMISpecies webinar series is taking advantage of the field season to share the latest research, survey and response efforts for spotted lanternfly and red swamp crayfish in Michigan. Summer webinars will also highlight the ways teachers are taking advantage of field trips and local experts to inspire students to get involved in preventing and managing invasive species.
This selection of invasive crayfish information is collected by the Invasive Crayfish Collaborative, a program convened and facilitated by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and the Illinois Natural History Survey with funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
