Explore Species

Explore Southeast Michigan native plant species. Select a name to see details.

This app is a proof of concept for a new kind of tool — one that pulls and joins ecological knowledge into a form to enable neighbors, gardeners, and community stewards to make informed choices. It relies on a data layer that is open, public, broad, and characterized. Data choices and boundaries are working parameters, not fixed designs.
