Partnerships
Invasive species don't recognize property boundaries, and managing them effectively requires collaboration across communities, organizations, and landscapes.
SICIM works with natural resource organizations, government agencies, businesses, landowners, and community groups to promote invasive species awareness, prevention, and management throughout Indiana.
Whether you're interested in collaborating on a project, joining a local invasive species partnership, or sharing your expertise, there are many ways to work together to protect Indiana's natural resources.

Partnerships are an important part of SICIM's mission. By bringing together organizations and individuals with shared goals, we can expand educational opportunities, strengthen local invasive species management efforts, and support healthier native ecosystems.

Join or Start a CISMA
Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas (CISMAs) are local partnerships that bring together landowners, conservation organizations, government agencies, businesses, and community members to address invasive species across property boundaries.
By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, CISMAs help communities develop coordinated approaches to invasive species prevention, education, and management.
SICIM supports the development and continued success of local CISMAs throughout Indiana through the Indiana Invasives Initiative.
Whether you're interested in joining an existing CISMA or helping establish one in your county, our Regional Specialists can help you get started.
Don't have a CISMA in your county? Contact your SICIM Regional Specialist to learn how you can help start one!
