Volunteer Mark Sethne with the Friends of Platte River shows Project Riverine Early Detection (RED) trainees an invasive Japanese hops plant. Mark and his crew have begun monitoring both the Grant and Platte Rivers for hops.

Featured Local Project

The River Alliance of Wisconsin recognized a need for more monitoring of invasive species in river corridors, and developed Project Riverine Early Detection (RED) with the support of a DNR AIS grant. The goal of Project RED is to engage river groups in invasive species issues, and document the spread of a variety of important invaders. They built the project from the ground up, developing monitoring protocols, fact sheets, and a volunteer monitoring handbook. more
