This event will be held on June 13, 2024, at the Abe Martin Lodge at Brown County State Park. Visit our conference page for the most up-to-date information.

Indiana Invasives Initiative T-shirts are back!!
That’s right! Our Indiana Invasives Initiative shirt is available again! Perfect timing as we are all planning our events and Weed Wrangles for spring. Now you can cut that honeysuckle in style! We have more options in both long and short sleeve, color, and material (triblend and cotton). FYI - our vendor (Good Sports in Bedford, IN) will print shirts in bulk and send out monthly, so if you order early in the month, it might take a month to receive it.
SICIM receives a portion of the sales for each shirt, so while you are spreading the word by wearing it, you are also contributing to our important work to help protect natural areas in Indiana.
To see what’s available and to order visit the Good Sports website. To learn more about the Indiana Invasives Initiative, go to our III page.
