The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has awarded the Ottawa Conservation District $200,000 to continue surveying and treating for Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (HWA). The work will be continued by the West Michigan Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) and will cover 4 counties (Oceana, Muskegon, Ottawa, and Allegan). Due to the desire to keep HWA from moving north, work is currently focused in Oceana county and will move south as the project continues. Containing HWA at the northernmost point is critical for stopping the spread into more heavily forested areas of the state.
