The SW x SW CISMA has created a flyer addressing invasive species that can be crop pests such as Leafy Spurge, Autumn Olive, Black & Pale Swallow-wort, Glossy Buckthorn, and Japanese Knotweed.
Please take the time to complete and return the resource assessment survey to us so we may better plan for future activities as we all learn new ways to conserve our natural resources.
