Featured Local Project: Project Riverine Early Detection
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
