REPORTING INVASIVES
If you want to learn more about how to report invasive plants, check out the Wisconsin First Detector Network (WIFDN) website for ways to report invasives.
There are various options (an app, a website, emailing WIFDN) for you to learn about through the tutorials posted.
Please note: You don’t have to report invasive plants to earn the Continuing Education hours. This is optional- and it helps our state!
