New York’s Invasive Species Awareness Week 2025
New York’s Invasive Species Awareness Week (#NYISAW) is June 9th- 15th!
The mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (NYISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and the harm they can cause. We want to empower YOU to stop the spread of invasive species!
Organizations across all of New York State are offering a variety of engaging events, such as interpretive hikes, volunteer days, webinars, movie screenings, and fun family activities! By participating in NYISAW, you can help protect your community’s natural spaces, learn about the emerging invasive species, meet your neighbors, get outdoors, and even win prizes!
We hope you join us! Find an event near you below. Hosting an event? Contact your local PRISM to get on the events calendar.
