This is a project map and documentation file from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Parks & Recreation Division Stewardship Unit for invasive species control at Ludington State Park. The document outlines a phased invasive species management project targeting Phragmites, Reed Canary Grass, and Invasive Cattail across five designated treatment areas. The project is divided into five phases with the following acreages: Phase 1 comprises 22.6 acres, Phase 2 contains 17.8 acres, Phase 3 covers 19.6 acres, Phase 4 includes 11.8 acres, and Phase 5 totals 16.8 acres, for a combined total of 88.6 acres requiring treatment. The map was prepared on July 9, 2018, by A. Ihnken and displays invasive point symbology indicating the distribution and size of infestations across the designated treatment areas within the park boundaries.

The document presents spatial data classifying invasive species infestations by size categories, ranging from unknown size classifications to areas exceeding one acre in extent. Treatment areas are clearly delineated on the map with associated trail systems and park ownership boundaries identified. The symbology employed distinguishes between three invasive species types through color-coded representation, enabling visual assessment of infestation patterns and severity across the five phases of the park remediation project. No specific pricing, funding sources, response deadlines, or contract award information is provided within this map-based documentation.
