Join Dr. Shikha Singh for a discussion about some of the current invasive species challenges we face in both aquatic and terrestrial environments in the Jackson, Lenawee and Washtenaw region.  We will learn how to identify a few invasives, how to prevent their spread, and how to report their occurrence.
