    Abstract
    Carthage’s  ISWG  team  (Invasive  Species  Working  Group)  has  been  and  still  is  undergoing  a  long   term  monitoring  program  studying  invasive  species  in  riparian  areas  throughout  Kenosha  County,  WI.   Riparian  zones  are  transition  areas  where  both  terrestrial  and  aquatic  landscapes  coexist  together;   because  of  this  the  team  is  sampling  and  assessing    all  three  key  areas:  the  aquatic  zone,  sampling  in  the   water,  the  riparian  zone;  where  the  water  and  land  meet,  and  the  terrestrial  zone;  land  within  close   proximity  of  water.  Because  most  invasive  species  are  generalists,  and  non-­‐native  they  have  high   dispersal  rates  with  low  predation  or  limiting  factors  to  slow  their  spread.  With  this  study  we  are  able  to   monitor  how  dispersal  is  affected  by  up/down  stream  movements  and  access  and  predict  these  invasive   species.
