Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act regulates invasive species. The Michigan EGLE maintains a prohibited and restricted species list. Notable invasives in Wayne County include phragmites, garlic mustard, Japanese knotweed, and autumn olive.
Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Part 413) regulates invasive species. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) maintain lists of prohibited and restricted species. In Wayne County, particularly problematic invasive plants include phragmites (Phragmites australis), garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and emerald ash borer-damaged ash trees. The Detroit River and Rouge River corridors are especially affected. Wayne County municipalities do not maintain separate prohibited species lists beyond state requirements.
It is illegal to sell, offer for sale, or introduce prohibited invasive species under Michigan law. Penalties include fines and required removal. Local weed ordinances enforce lot maintenance.
