Maine Invasive Species Network (MISN) brings together research, education, and outreach professionals who work with invasive species in Maine.
MISN and this website were conceived in October 2009, when a group of 45 people met in Augusta at the first meeting to bring together people who work intensively on invasive plants, animals, and other invasive species in Maine.
