Now You See Me, Now You Don’t! The Trick of Finding and Managing Invasive Lesser Celandine
In 2024, lesser celandine (Ficaria verna), a spring ephemeral plant found in forest floodplains, was added to Michigan’s watch list. The plant appears very early in spring and hides underground well before summer’s heat begins. In “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t! The Trick of Finding and Managing Invasive Lesser Celandine” (9 a.m. Thursday, March 27), Katie Grzesiak, terrestrial invasive species coordinator with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, explains the impacts, identification and management strategies for this invasive plant. Learn how to become a spring lesser celandine spotter on your next outdoor adventure.
Join the NotMISpecies webinar series again on Wednesday, April 30 at 9 a.m. for “They’ll Need that Hug: How Climate Change is Increasing Native and Invasive Threats to Michigan’s Trees.” Forest entomologist Erin Biggs and forest pathologist Simeon Wright of the DNR will explain emerging issues, how they are being addressed, and which may have the biggest effect on Michigan’s forests and urban landscapes.
