Daviess and Martin County CISMA Survey

We have started Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) here in Daviess and Martin County, but we need your help. CISMAs are grassroots organizations that are formed to tackle invasive species at the local level. They can help partners to prioritize invasive management, cross landownership boundaries to survey and control invasive plants, and provide local education and outreach on invasive species.

Some local invasive species include Bush Honeysuckle, Autumn Olive, Callery (Bradford) Pear, Multiflora Rose, Japanese Honeysuckle, and Emerald Ash Borer.

Please complete this survey to help us understand who is willing and able to participate and what our priorities should be. This survey is for anyone who lives and/or works in Daviess or Martin counties. We are here for YOU!
