The Lake to Lake Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (L2L CISMA) is a multi-agency and multi-community group created in 2008. We aim to provide long-term protection of a variety of habitats by reducing the threat from non-native and invasive plant species through coordination of efforts among partners to educate the public, survey and research invasions, and provide opportunities for on-the-ground invasive plant removal and other management actions. Formerly the Central Upper Peninsula Cooperative Weed Management Area, our goals have remained the same: to maintain and restore native habitats throughout the central Upper Peninsula counties of Alger, Delta, Schoolcraft and Marquette.
