Scenic Rivers Invasive Species Partnership - SRISP

Scenic Rivers Invasive Species Partnership - SRISP The SRISP focuses on educating, inventorying, and eradicating invasive plants in the scenic rivers.

The Scenic Rivers Invasive Species Partnership (SRISP) was developed in 2018 to establish a Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) within southern Missouri. A CISMA is partnership of federal, state, and local government agencies, tribes, individuals, and various interested groups that manage invasive species (or weeds) in a defined area. A Memorandum of Understanding was implemented

by over twenty federal and state agencies, Non-Government Organizations, landowners and others to recognize the importance of working together across boundaries to address the threats invasive species pose to Missouri’s native ecosystems. The SRISP covers the watersheds of the three National Scenic Riverways found in Missouri: The Current, Jack's Fork, and Eleven Point Rivers. Counties included in this partnership are Howell, Texas, Shannon, Carter, Butler, Dent, Reynolds, Ripley, and Oregon. This Partnership is consistent with the state-wide initiative goals of the Missouri Invasive Plant Council (MoIP). The goals of the SRISP include:
-Develop and maintain diverse partnerships that represent private landowners, concerned citizens, federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations, outdoor recreation groups, agricultural industry, universities, local businesses and government.
-Decrease the impacts of invasive species to native plant and animal communities, public and private lands and other natural communities, agricultural lands, and local economies.
-Increase awareness through outreach, education, and training.

Are you curious about what invasive plants are found in your region? Check out the Missouri Invasive Plant Council's invasive plant assessment. By using experts who collected field data, they compiled a list of over 100 plants found in Missouri. Each species lists the impact it is having in a region, its current abundance, and the trend in abundance. Check out this incredible resource at:

Our two seasonal technicians, Kayla and Jon, were working hard today on Mark Twain National Forest! They are treating recently completed timber sales and active timber sales for invasive plants this summer. Today, they sprayed Beefsteak (Perilla mint), sericea lespedeza, and Japanese stiltgrass. Spraying invasive plants after timber sales have been completed is an important step to prevent invasive plants from speading into newly opened forest stands, which offer more light and disturbance for invaisves to establish.

We had a great day sharing knowledge with the folks of Ripley County and surrounding areas. Over 30 participants came to learn about invaisve plant identification, treatment, and cost-share programs. Everyone got to go home with a few native plants and a lot of great information. Thanks everyone for a great day!
