Since 2015, the Charlevoix, Antrim, Kalkaska, and Emmet Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CAKE CISMA) has been dedicated to protecting our region’s natural resources through collaboration. Founded by local governments, environmental professionals, and area nonprofits, we work together to manage invasive species, restore habitats, and empower communities. Whether it’s tackling invasive plants in your backyard or implementing large-scale habitat restoration, we’re here to help. By partnering with organizations across the region, we believe that together, we can make a greater impact.
