Hamilton County Invasives PartnershipThe Hamilton County Invasives Partnership (HIP) was established in 2019 and the counties Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA). CISMAs were first known as CWMAs, or Cooperative Weed Management Areas. Sometimes called Coalitions, Partnerships, or Councils, CISMAs are formed to collectively combat the problem of invasive species spreading across the landscape. CISMAs can vary greatly in their geographic range, activity level, and focus, and are usually comprised of representatives from various governmental agencies, non-profits, and concerned citizens or citizen groups (from SICIM).
Representatives from municipalities, parks departments, non-profits, businesses, advocacy organizations, and private landowners are working to form a CISMA in Hamilton County. Any individual or representative who is interested in addressing invasive species in Hamilton County is invited to join us-- you do not have to be an expert.
