Free Invasive Plant Survey of Your Land
Are you concerned about invasive plants degrading your property in Monroe County?
We often hear that landowners think they may have invasive plants on their land, but that they are not sure. It's sometimes not easy to identify invasive plants, so MC-IRIS is here to help.
Apply to have a volunteer from MC-IRIS (Monroe County - Identify and Reduce Invasive Species) join you in touring your property to identify invasive species that may be present. Our volunteers will provide information on invasive plants found and on methods for controlling them. Donations are welcome but not required.
Note - you can apply for a survey any time, but we conduct the surveys from mid-April to mid-October when we can best see and identify plants. If you apply outside that time period we will add you to the queue and contact you in early April to set a time to survey your land.
Update - Because of Covid-19 there is likely to be a significant lag time between when you apply and when we are able to do a survey. If you want help on invasive plant ID quickly, here are three options:
1. Join the Indiana Invasive Plant Advisory Committee Facebook group and post photos of the invasive species there.
2. Join the MC-IRIS Facebook group and post photos of the invasive species there.
3. Email photos to mciris2022@gmail.com
