Programs & Support

There are many sources of general information on invasive species in the state of Indiana. Explore the dropdown menus below for a compilation of these resources, which includes technical assistance, financial support groups, as well as overviews on invasive statuses.

IDENTIFYING & REPORTING

Identification and proper reporting of invasive species is essential for monitoring the progression of invasive through the state. Specific species can be tough to identify, so a list of active invasive species, as well as publications and videos for identification, are included.

CONTROL & RECOVERY

There are multiple methods and guides for controlling invasive species populations. Private Contractors can be contacted for assistance in removal. Best management practices, information on landscaping with native plants, and regulatory information are all listed.

Model Invasive Community Efforts

Learning about efforts in other communities can help groups understand how invasive species issues can be approached in their own community.
