Invasive Species Re-Treatment Cost Share Program
Program Background
Roots & Rivers has been offering management and control of priority invasive species for over a decade. A vast majority of this control has been entirely grant-funded and provided at no cost to landowners.
However, over time, Roots & Rivers has found it increasingly difficult to secure grant funding to cover the costs of follow-up treatments at sites managed for several years. Roots & Rivers understands the importance of these retreatment activities, not only to protect our investment in previous management, but also to ensure long-term success and prevent these species from returning to pre-management levels.
Therefore, Roots & Rivers has developed an invasive species retreatment cost-share program. With funding from WE Energie's Mitigation and Enhancement Fund, Roots & Rivers will be able to offer retreatment management of priority invasive species at a 1:1 cost-share rate for any landowners who have received at least two (2) years of free, grant-funded treatment from Roots & Rivers in the past.
