The SB-CISMA offers a range of tools and equipment for private landowners treating invasive species infestations. Before beginning a treatment plan, be sure you have the right tool for the job. You can learn more about different methods for controlling invasive plants on your property at www.mipn.org/control, or by emailing us at sbcisma@gmail.com.
