There has been a noticeable increase in lesser celandine (Ficaria verna) spreading via moving waters (rivers, creeks), passing through urban areas, and even popping up in residential lawns. The Michigan Lesser Celandine Coalition is helping to answer questions of “how it got there, and what are the best management practices for control?”. Learn about the formation and efforts of the Coalition to raise awareness, increase monitoring and reporting, and develop best management practices for this invasive plant.
MIPN, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, Region 9, hosted a short series of webinars on the restoration of sites invaded with problem plants. The goal of this series was for restoration experts to share their knowledge, strategies, and tips to help others escape the cycle of endless mowing, pulling and/or spraying for invasives and to adopt practices that produce better long-term results in terms of restoring biodiversity and preventing re-establishment of invasive plants.
