About The NISC

Who We Are

The Nebraska Invasive Species Council (NISC) was established in April 2012 through Legislative Bill 391 to help protect the state's land, water, and other resources from harmful invasive species. The NISC serves as a mechanism for cooperation, communication, and collaboration between public and private organizations interested in controlling and preventing invasive species introduction and spread across the state.
