Terrestrial Plant Rule Update - Comment Period Ends Dec 20, 2018

Dear All,

The comment period for the Terrestrial Plant Rule ends on December 20, 2018. A public hearing is scheduled for December 19, 2018 at 10:00AM in the Government Center North Bldg., 1st Floor.


The public hearing is run by the Law Judge (Dawn Wilson, Administrative Law Judge). She will host the hearing in her office and open the meeting for comments. 

It is important that representatives of various businesses, research and organizations attend the public hearing and provide support for the rule at that time, but it is not necessary to pack the hearing with those of us supportive of the rule.

The most important tool we have is to provide written comments via the website at this link:  https://www.in.gov/nrc/2377.htm. I cannot over emphasize the need to provide written support for the rule. 

And while we're waiting for the rule to make its way through the rule making process, let's support science and collect data. Who knows what cool things you might find while you are reporting invasive plants!  :)

Check out the links to learn how to use the app and / or your computer to report a species.
