Biodiversity Matters: What’s Up with Invasive Species? - Phyllis Higman

This Wild Ones presentation will begin with a refresher on biodiversity conservation to set the stage for effective invasive species management. This will be followed by an overview of invasive plants including definitions, a framework for action, a brief discussion of control methods and an overview of state initiatives to address them. It will finish up by highlighting priority species and identifying activities that participants can do to help.
Phyllis Higman is a Senior Conservation Scientist at the Michigan Natural Features Inventory with 26 years of field-based experience studying Michigan’s native ecosystems and vulnerable species. She is working statewide to promote awareness of Michigan’s natural heritage and to increase capacity for early detection, mapping and strategic control of invasive species; one of the biggest threats to biodiversity conservation.
