Landowner Toolkit

Stay True to Your Hoosier Roots, Go Native, Not Invasive!

SICIM has compiled this toolkit to provide landowners with the resources you need to identify invasive species threats, determine what options are effective to control them, and find assistance for control efforts.  Browse toolkit items below, or download the files from Google Drive.  If you have problems downloading files, or are interested in hard copies, contact SICIM at sicim.info@gmail.com or 812-653-5563.

 SICIM does not endorse particular treatment protocols or herbicides. Herbicides, and other chemicals and mechanical control equipment, are inherently dangerous. They should be used by trained experts and/or with much caution. If you choose to use herbicides or mechanical equipment, always read and follow the herbicide label and herbicide/equipment safety precautions. Seek professional assistance or training whenever possible.
