West Plains, MO. – Missouri has an abundance of the invasive plants. Many organizations are trying to exert control over the growing population of Missouri’s non-native plants species. The Scenic Rivers Invasive Species Partnership, or SRISP, was developed to partner and establish ways to control the threat to Missouri’s natural ecosystem.
The following companies are part of the Scenic Rivers Invasive Species Partnership: Missouri Quail and Pheasants Forever, The Nature Conservancy, Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Forest Service – Mark Twain National Forest, National Wild Turkey Federation, L-A-D Foundation, National Park Service – Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Missouri Invasive Plant Council, Private Landowners, and Missouri Department of Transportation.
In another effort to get control over the Missouri plants Ozark Soul in partnership with SRISP is hosting a native plant sale. The sale will be located at the Ozark Soul Native Plant store at Carmichael Field, West Plains, MO on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. You can also pre-order your native plants through Ozark Soul’s website, ozarksoul.com.
