Detroit River – Western Lake Erie Cooperative Weed Management Area
The Detroit River – Western Lake Erie Cooperative Weed Management Area (DR-WLE CWMA) was formed in 2011, dedicated to removing and preventing the spread of invasive species in Wayne and Monroe Counties. Our team and partners use Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) protocols to ID local invasive species populations and remove them through mechanical and chemical means. They also conduct community outreach to educate the public on invasive species and how they’re harmful to our native ecosystems.
