Outreach

Engagement and education are our strongest tools in preventing the invasion and spread of non-native species. We look to your organization to work in your community and engage individuals, educate them and motivate them to help in the fight.

We are working to build a library of resources for you to use, including presentations, webcasts and speakers.  You can access these resources on the Partner portal page.

Rapid Response

When a rapidly-spreading, priority invasive species is detected in our region, we need to be able to call on our partners and ask them to activate volunteers to assist in mitigation.  The process we use is the Early Detection- Rapid Response (EDRR) Protocol.

We will work with you to monitor the invasion an provide technical assistance during the response process.

Invasive Species Management

Depending on the population, we can coordinate grants and other resources to deal with priority invasive species in your area. If you have a species of concern contact us and we can discuss the best management practices to deploy for your situation.
