MIPN promotes revegetation with native plants as a strategy to improve the long-term effectiveness of invasive plant control efforts. This page includes resources and materials specifically developed to help CWMAs/CISMAs/PRISMs and entry-level land managers in the Midwest navigate through the complexities of ecological restoration. Topics include revegetation to improve success of invasive plant removal, changing ecosystem properties to prevent the spread of invasive species, and soil remediation to prevent invasive plant establishment.
The purpose of this directory is not to endorse or recommend any particular business or strategy, but to provide options for CWMAs and other land managers seeking revegetation/restoration support. The firms listed opted to include their name (at no cost) in this regional listing of companies providing professional ecological services.

MIPN, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, Region 9, hosted a short series of webinars on the restoration of sites invaded with problem plants. The goal of this series was for restoration experts to share their knowledge, strategies, and tips to help others escape the cycle of endless mowing, pulling and/or spraying for invasives and to adopt practices that produce better long-term results in terms of restoring biodiversity and preventing re-establishment of invasive plants.
