Mondays with Martha #220 - Invasive Flowering Rush

This week I chat with Central Michigan CISMA Coordinator Matthew Lindauer about a relatively new invasive species concern in the Midland, Michigan area, flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus). Learn how to identify this aquatic perennial plant and help aid in its control by reporting your observations! Be sure to participate in the CM-CISMA's Citizen Reporting Event over Labor Day Weekend!
