Help us Manage Invasive Species in Bartholomew County!

What is a CISMA?

CISMAs are "Cooperative Invasives Species Management Area". They are formed to collectively combat the problem of invasive species spreading across the landscape. CISMAs are usually comprised of representatives from various governmental agencies, non-profits, and concerned citizens/citizen groups.
