The Michigan Natural Features Inventory has been generating and disseminating the highest quality scientific information on the location and condition of Michigan’s rare species and habitats for more than 40 years; as a program of Michigan State University Extension since 2000.

Our team of experts in ecology, botany, zoology, and aquatic zoology conduct research and field surveys of rare vascular plants and animals (insects, mammals, birds, mussels, snails, reptiles, amphibians, and fish), as well as rare and/or high quality natural communities.

We also research issues related to biodiversity conservation and provide that information and consultation to a wide variety of decision makers, practitioners, and the public.

As stewards of the Michigan Natural Heritage Database, one of more than 80 programs in the international NatureServe network, we provide the most authoritative, comprehensive and up-to-date scientific information available to guide conservation of Michigan’s biodiversity.
