Rare Peatland Insects of Michigan
March 31 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Fresh off the first year of a tri-state project surveying for rare peatland insects in Michigan we will present the preliminary highlights and “lowlights” from the field season. In addition, we will provide an overview of the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) that call peatlands home. Range, conservation rank, and habitat requirements or host plant needs for each of the SGCN will be presented.
Presenters: David Cuthrell and Logan Rowe, Michigan Natural Features Inventory
