CISMA = Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, a partnership of federal, state, and local government agencies, tribes, individuals, and various interested groups that manage invasive species (or weeds) in a defined area.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH – 9:00 AM TO 4:00 PM
Hamilton County, Indiana 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Center
2003 Pleasant St, Noblesville, IN 46060

Please join us for our inaugural CISMA Conference. We will provide technical training, share some of the latest research on impacts of invasive species, provide an overview of the Terrestrial Invasive Plant Rule (which becomes enforceable April 2020), and more. The conference is expected to draw 300 attendees. CEUs will be available!

The purpose of the conference is to:

• Increase knowledge of invasive species – from ID to management,
• Promote land management and design that focuses on avoidance of invasive species and the increased use of native species,
• Generate an appreciation of our native natural resources.

While the conference pertains to invasive species management, the goal of the conference is to build partnerships across the state that exchange information, and build opportunities for interaction to increase capacity for restoration and conservation.

Who should attend? Anyone with a personal or professional interest in invasive species: CISMA representatives, park professionals, land managers, foresters, arborists, contractors, farmers, landscape professionals, etc.
