Pike County Invasive Species Program

• Events Home

The Pike County Commissioners are encouring Pike County landowners to remove invasive plant species. Invasive species are often introduced accidentally to the landscape, and can cause ecological destruction of native habitats. Spreading fast, they can overtake vital native pollinator species and other native food sources.

Through funding from a DCED grant, the Commissioners will be providing native plants to landowners that complete an application and provide photo evidence of the invasive species that was removed. Invasive-01(Opens in new window)Autumn/Russian Olive
