The 2021 JLW CISMA INVASIVE SPECIES CALENDAR highlights several invasive species found in the area and provides tips on how to prevent their spread to new areas.  Funds raised from these sales will directly support our efforts to perform early detection and rapid response when new species are found, and provide quality educational programming for both youth and adults! The Jackson Lenawee Washtenaw Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (JLW CISMA) is a grant funded organization that works to address invasive species related needs in the Jackson, Lenawee and Washtenaw county region. Learn more about JLW CISMA:  https://jlwcisma.weebly.com/ 

Unfortunately the Tree & Shrub sale is sold out of Serviceberry, Paw Paw, and Pussy Willow, we have had a lot of excitement around these this year, and our nursey supplier is all out. On the bright side, we were able to increase our inventory for American Hazelnut, Deer packets, Wetland packets, and highbush blueberry.  Thanks again for all those who got their purchases in early. We will certainly aim to increase our numbers to meet demand in the future.
