WHAT IS A CISMA?
A CISMA is a Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area. CISMAs are partnership organizations formed with the goal of managing invasive plants across jurisdictional and landownership boundaries. Partners can include county, state, and federal governmental agencies, non-profits, citizen groups, and others. By working together at the local level, CISMA partners are able to gather resources and knowledge to address mutual invasive species problems. Through this project SICIM will be providing new CISMA resources and guidance. In the meantime, for more information on CISMAs go to https://www.mipn.org/cwma-resources/.
