Door County Invasive Species
"The Door County Invasive Species Team (DCIST) is a group of natural resource professionals and interested public members that are concerned about the preservation of Door County’s natural environment. DCIST seeks to half the invasion of exotic, non-native plants by empowering citizens with the education, tools and skills necessary to control invasive species."
​
"DCIST is committed to educating, preventing, minimizing, and eradicating invasive plants and reducing their impact on Door County’s natural resources, economic viability, and human welfare."
The DCIST website is an invaluable resource with detailed information and images of invasive plants common to our area. There are also numerous links to other resources, and information on how one can help.
Pictured here are just four of the many common invasive species that grow in Door County. See a handy chart of Door County's most prevalent invasive plants HERE.
Invasive species should not be bought and sold, or planted. Their use in floral arrangements is discouraged.
