Learn how to identify common invasive plants, test your knowledge of Indiana’s native plants, and take a short hike through the national lakeshore’s Miller Woods to learn how to report invasive species using a free smartphone app. Kids will also have the chance to design and create their own invasive species button, and receive an invasive species souvenir from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
