Aquatic invasive organisms and plants can be spread from lake to lake by boats. Moving firewood can result in moving insect pests or fungal diseases that damage or kill trees. Off-roading on Michigan's trail systems should be followed up by a stop at a car wash. Even hiking can result in spreading invasive insects or plant seeds.

Nearly a year ago, plans to turn some not-terribly-productive farmland into a wetland were announced as a pilot project. Now, deep-rooted grasses and plants friendly to bees and butterflies are beginning to make the 300 acres look lush. Yet to be determined is how well this will capture nutrient runoff from farm fields in the headwaters of the River Raisin watershed.
