Endangered/Threatened Species

Below is the current County Element Lists produced by Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI). MNFI is a cooperative program of Michigan
State University Extension and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Our mission is to identify, evaluation, and track locations of
Michigan's rarest species and exceptional examples of the State's natural plant communities and to provide that information to the public and private
sectors for decision-making that affects Michigan's biological diversity. MNFI was established in 1980 and manages an ongoing, continuously
updated information base regarding these biological factors.
The lists include all elements (species and natural communities) for which locations have been recorded in MNFI's Biological and Conservation
Datasystem for the county. Information from the database cannot provide a definitive statement on the presence, absence, or condition of the natural
features in any given locality, since much of the state has not been specifically or thoroughly surveyed for their occurrence and the conditions at
previously surveyed sites are constantly changing. The County Elements Lists should be used as a reference of which natural features currently or
historically were recorded in the county and should be considered when developing land use plans. Included in the list is scientific name, common
name, element type, federal status, and state status for each element.
If you have any questions regarding this list, new records to add to the datasystem, or would like more information, please contact our office at 517-373-1552.
