Empowering Door County citizens and municipalities with the information, tools, and skills to tackle invasive species.
DCIST would like to invite you to a fun filled 3.5 hour invasive species training to learn more about field identification, safety, invasive species rules and regulations, and why protecting Door County from these invasive species is so important. Light refreshments will be served.
