Go Beyond Beauty Achievement Program

ISN invites you to go even further by becoming a member of its achievement program. Established in 2018 with input from partners and current Go Beyond Beauty participants, the expanded programming allows for a variety of new opportunities. With the introduction of fee-based survey work, planting recommendations, and educational trainings, ISN will be better supported to help YOU with the management of high-priority invasive ornamental species. 

*Go Beyond Beauty will still remain, at a basic level, free to anyone who wishes to participate. By committing to not use or sell invasive species, participants are still eligible for outreach materials, signage, and public recognition. 

If you are an existing participant, please contact Go Beyond Beauty Specialist, Shelly Stusick, for more information. Interested businesses and individuals who are not yet a part of the program, register here.
