The North Country Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area has been awarded two new grants to continue its work to stop the spread of invasive species in Northern Michigan. A grant for $50,000 of Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding, awarded by the U.S. Forest Service, will be held by the Mason-Lake Conservation District. The USFS Grant, titled Parks as Showplaces for Control and Restoration, will allow NCCISMA to continue the work that they have been doing over the past several years, to remove invasive plants from area public parks and replace them with native species. Parks that have been the subject of previous work by NCCISMA include Lake City Parks, Big Rapids Parks and Mecosta County Parks. At Paris Park, in Mecosta County, interpretive signage has been installed to highlight the work done there by NCCISMA.
