Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent community open house in Detroit!

🏠 What can home energy rebates do for Michigan homeowners?

Hear from Emily Molnar, a Marquette County homeowner.

With help from Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER), Emily upgraded her home with a heat pump, heat pump water heater and electrical improvements — making her home more comfortable and energy efficient through a cold Upper Peninsula winter.

She’s one of roughly 400 U.P. homeowners approved for MiHER rebates so far, with more projects underway.

Mile-a-minute w**d, a highly invasive vine that can smother trees and vegetation, has been confirmed in Jackson County.

And it lives up to its name: the vine can grow up to 6 inches a day, quickly overtaking native and landscape vegetation and forming dense, prickly thickets. Its blue-to-purple berries can also spread seeds to new areas.

The detection was reported by a landowner, allowing invasive species staff to respond quickly. Since then, staff have surveyed thousands of acres in Jackson and Calhoun counties and found no additional infestations in Jackson County.

You can help catch mile-a-minute w**d early. Look for its triangular leaves, prickly stems and blue-to-purple berries.

If you spot a plant that looks like mile-a-minute w**d, take photos, note the location and report it: https://www.misin.msu.edu/report
