Invasive Species Trade In Program
The invasive trade in program has closed for 2021. All trees have been distributed. If you are interested in learning about future trade in opportunities, please sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media (@hcinvasives).
We are working on details for our fall 2022 program. If you are doing invasive species management this spring that you would like to us to qualify for the program, please take a pre-removal photo of the invasives with you in the photo. You will be able to use that photo and a post-removal photo to take part in the program.

This fall the Hamilton County Invasives Partnership and Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District are offering a invasive species trade in program. For a limited time and as supplies last, property owners can show proof of removal of an invasive species on their Hamilton County property and receive one 5 gallon native species specimen for FREE! Use the form below to apply. Supplies are very limited so apply asap.
Program guidelines: Invasive species must be properly identified by the homeowner. Landscape plantings of callery pear species, burning bush, Japanese barberry, and Norway Maple are the preferred species for removal but you can apply when removing other invasive species listed on the Official Indiana Invasive Species Council Invasive Plant List (found here). Trades are limited to one per address. Questions? Email hcinvasives@hamiltoncounty.in.gov The three native species available for trade include American Hornbeam, Hop Hornbeam, and Tulip Poplar. |
Did you know? Fall is a great time for invasive species removal work AND the best time to plant trees! Not sure how to identify or control invasive species? See our education and control resource pages for help. You can also contact the HIP tech leader, Taylor Wilson at taylor.wilson@hamiltoncounty.in.gov |
This program has concluded for 2021. Thank you for your interest.
