Michigan Eyes on the Forest Sentinel Tree Network

Priority Plant Patrol

New in 2024 is the Michigan Eyes on the Forest Priority Plant Patrol. With the help of state officials, six priority plants that are not known to be widespread in Michigan were chosen as the focus. Through the Priority Plant Patrol, community science volunteers will learn how to identify these priority plants and then use the ArcGIS Survey 123 to record the presence, and just as important, the absence of the plants.

Priority Plants*:

*plants that are designated UP (Upper Peninsula) or LP (lower peninsula) have the potential to spread rapidly in that region and are not known to occur or are already widespread elsewhere.
