We are a regional partnership working to protect Central Ohio’s natural resources, public health, safety, and economy through a coordinated approach to prevent, combat, and improve awareness of invasive species. We represent government agencies, non-profit organizations, businesses, community groups and concerned citizens. Our focus is on all types of invasive species, including terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals, pests and pathogens.
If you are interested in getting involved with COPRISM or want to know more, please email us at centralohprism@gmail.com. All are welcome. You do not need to be an expert or affiliated with an organization.
